Can Bartholinitis be transmitted from mother to child?

Bartholinitis is a common disease of the vulva. The Bartholin glands are located in the lower 1/3 of the labia majora, buried deep in the labia majora, the size of soybeans, one on each side. The Bartholin glands have a duct as thin as an embroidery needle, extending to the vaginal opening, and the opening is just below the outer edge of the hymen. The function of the Bartholin glands 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.

Bartholinitis is a common gynecological inflammation. It is not a contagious disease and is not contagious. It cannot be transmitted from mother to child. Let's take a look at the causes of Bartholinitis.

The main cause of Bartholinitis is the entry of pathogenic bacteria into the gland. The entry of pathogenic bacteria is related to the following factors: First, 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 gland through the opening of the Bartholin gland 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. Second, during childbirth, such as vaginal surgery, the bacteria can enter the gland through the wound. Third, 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 multiply and increase at the vaginal opening and enter the gland through the gland duct opening. This is more common among unmarried girls.

This disease usually occurs in women of childbearing age. The main pathogens are Staphylococcus, Escherichia coli, Streptococcus, Enterococcus, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, and anaerobic bacteria. In recent years, the incidence of Bartholinitis caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae has increased significantly. Women must pay more attention to it in their daily lives.

The above introduces the causes of Bartholinitis. From it we know that the main cause of Bartholinitis is the entry of pathogenic bacteria into the gland. Therefore, female friends should pay attention to unclean sexual intercourse, childbirth, vulva cleaning, etc., so as to prevent the occurrence of Bartholinitis. Do not adjust your mind easily for this disease, otherwise it will affect your mood.
