What are the dangers of Bartholinitis?

As we all know, Bartholinitis is a common gynecological disease among female friends. The incidence rate has been increasing in recent years. At the same time, it has certain harm to the human body, so it needs to be taken seriously by female friends. Bartholinitis is caused by pathogens that easily penetrate into the vulva when sexual intercourse, childbirth or other situations contaminate the vulva, causing inflammation. If not treated in time, it will not only affect life and work, but also cause Bartholinitis pus. What are the hazards of Bartholinitis? Let's take a detailed look below.

What are the dangers of Bartholinitis?

1. In the acute phase, there is local pain and redness and swelling. The pain is most severe when the Bartholin's gland abscess forms. Fever is common, but chills are rare. Sometimes urination and defecation are difficult. Clinical examination can reveal a red, swollen, hard lump in the lower 1/3 of the labia majora, which is obviously tender. If it has developed into an abscess, it is mostly egg- to apple-sized lumps, often unilateral. The skin on the surface of the lump is red and thin, and the surrounding tissues are edematous. When the inflammation is severe, it can spread to the perineum and the contralateral vulva. Local tenderness is obvious, with a sense of fluctuation, and the inguinal lymph nodes are often enlarged.

2. If Bartholin's glanditis is not treated promptly, it may occasionally spread posteriorly, forming a perirectal abscess, and sometimes even rupture into the rectum.

3. After the incision and drainage of the vestibular gland, most of the abscess cavities can be completely closed and healed, but fistulas may occasionally form, with a small amount of secretions constantly discharged. A small and hard nodule can be felt during palpation, with slight tenderness. Pus may sometimes flow out of the fistula when squeezed. Sometimes the fistula closes or narrows by itself, and pus may accumulate and form an abscess again. It may also recur and not heal for a long time.

[Warm Tips] The harm of Bartholin's gland inflammation cannot be ignored. After you get sick, you should go to a regular professional hospital for treatment as soon as possible to avoid more serious consequences!
