How is Bartholinitis transmitted?

Bartholinitis is more common in women of childbearing age. It is caused by the infection of the Bartholin's glands by bacteria such as Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, and Escherichia coli, which often causes acute inflammation. Bartholin's gland cysts are mostly caused by the long-term existence of chronic inflammation, which causes the Bartholin's gland duct to be blocked, glandular fluid to accumulate, and glandular cystic expansion; or it is caused by the absorption of pus after the acute Bartholin's gland inflammation subsides. Bartholinitis is not a transmitted disease and is not contagious. So how do women get infected with Bartholin's glands? Let's take a look together!

How do women get Bartholinitis?

1. One is unclean bacteria. 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 gland through the opening of the Bartholin's gland duct at the vaginal opening.

2. Having sex during menstruation can also press pathogenic bacteria in the menstrual blood into the duct opening and enter deep into the gland.

3. Childbirth can also cause Bartholinitis. If the delivery is vaginal, the bacteria can enter the gland through the wound.

4. Another thing is not paying attention to the cleanliness of the vulva. If you touch the vulva with dirty hands, do not wash the vulva every day, and do not change underwear frequently, the bacteria can reproduce and increase at the vaginal opening and enter the gland through the gland duct opening. This is more common among unmarried girls.

Experts say that Bartholinitis is a relatively serious disease among women. In recent years, the number of patients with Bartholinitis has increased significantly. At the same time, Bartholinitis is a relatively difficult disease to cure. If female friends have symptoms of Bartholinitis, they should go to a regular hospital for examination and treatment in time to detect and treat it early.
