How to recognize the symptoms of Bartholinitis

Regarding the symptoms of Bartholin's cystitis, we must have a correct understanding and actively grasp the symptoms of Bartholin's cystitis. Only symptomatic treatment can achieve good results. Usually, the symptoms of Bartholin's cystitis are very complicated. The following is an analysis of the symptoms of Bartholin's cystitis by gynecological experts.

Bartholin's gland cystitis refers to inflammation of the Bartholin's gland caused by the invasion of pathogens. The clinical manifestations are redness, swelling, hard masses and pain in the lower 1/3 of the labia majora. This disease is more common in women of childbearing age and rarely occurs in infants and postmenopausal women. This disease is mostly a mixed infection of Staphylococcus, Escherichia coli, Streptococcus and Enterococcus. Due to the characteristics of the anatomical location of the vestibule, sexual intercourse, childbirth or other situations that may contaminate the vulva can cause infection. In recent years, with the recurrence of sexually transmitted diseases, gonorrheal infection has also shown an increasing trend. The treatment of this disease should try to identify the type of pathogen, mainly antibiotic treatment, and if an abscess is formed, surgical incision and drainage can be considered. If there are other complications, attention should be paid to improving the general condition.

Bartholinitis is a common genital inflammation in women. The Bartholin glands are located in the deep 1/3 behind the labia majora on both sides. The gland duct opens between the hymen and the labia minora. When the vulva is contaminated by sexual intercourse, childbirth or other circumstances, pathogens can easily invade and cause Bartholinitis. During an acute inflammation attack, the pathogen first invades the gland duct, which presents an acute suppurative inflammation. The gland duct opening is often blocked due to swelling or condensation of exudate, and pus cannot flow out, but accumulates to form an abscess.

Patients initially feel swelling, pain, and burning sensation in the vulva, difficulty walking, and sometimes difficulty urinating and defecating. Examination shows obvious redness, swelling, fever, and tenderness of the local skin. When an abscess is formed, a sense of fluctuation can be felt, and the patient has systemic symptoms such as fever. When the pressure inside the abscess increases, the surface skin becomes thinner, and the abscess ruptures on its own. If the rupture is large, it can drain on its own, and the inflammation will subside quickly and heal. If the rupture is small and the drainage is not smooth, the inflammation will continue to not subside, and acute attacks may occur repeatedly.

Therefore, when patients have the above discomfort, they should seek medical attention as soon as possible. When acute inflammation occurs, patients need to stay in bed. When an abscess is formed, it can be incised and drained and an ostomy can be performed. Regarding the above symptoms of Bartholin's gland cystitis, everyone must actively grasp them. Only by correctly grasping the symptoms of Bartholin's gland cystitis can symptomatic treatment achieve good results.
