Is Bartholinitis contagious during the incubation period?

Bartholinitis is a gynecological disease caused by bacterial infection. It is not a transmitted disease and is not contagious, but it causes a lot of harm to female friends. After the disease occurs, it should be treated in time. The following editor will take you to understand what causes the disease.

The Bartholin's glands are located in the lower 1/3 of the labia majora, buried deep in the labia majora. They are as big as soybeans, one on each side. The Bartholin's glands have a catheter as thin as an embroidery needle that extends to the vaginal opening, and the opening is just below the outer edge of the hymen. Its function is closely related to sexual life. It mainly secretes a yellow-white mucus during sexual excitement and sexual life to lubricate the vaginal opening and even the vagina, so that both parties can feel pleasure during sexual life without friction and pain.

What are the causes of Bartholinitis?

1. Childbirth. For example, after vaginal surgery, bacteria can enter the glands through the wound.

Second, a history of unclean sexual intercourse. If the man has gonorrhea and has not been completely cured and has sex with him, the gonococci on the head of the penis will enter the vestibular gland through the opening of the duct at the vaginal opening; having sex during menstruation can also "press" the pathogenic bacteria in the menstrual blood into the duct opening and enter the deep part of the gland.

3. Not paying attention to the cleanliness of the vulva. If you do not wash the vulva every day and do not change your underwear frequently, the bacteria can multiply and increase at the vaginal opening and enter the gland through the gland duct opening.

How to treat Bartholinitis:

1. Patients with Bartholinitis mainly use antibiotics, and the treatment effect is better if the abscess is incised and drained after it is formed.

2. Keep the vulva clean and wash it every day.

3. Do not wear nylon underwear and seek prompt treatment if you suffer from vulvitis.
