What are the typical symptoms of Bartholinitis?

The onset of Bartholinitis is related to its anatomical location. The Bartholin glands are located at the back of the labia majora on both sides, and the gland duct opens on the inner side of the labia minora near the hymen. Due to the characteristics of the anatomical location of the disease, when the vulva is contaminated by sexual intercourse, childbirth or other circumstances, pathogens can easily penetrate and cause inflammation.

Typical symptoms of Bartholinitis include:

1) Inflammation on one side: manifested as pain, redness, swelling and pus discharge on one side. Many patients seek medical attention because they cannot walk, or the symptoms may be slightly relieved by changing body position.

2) Local swelling, pain, burning sensation, burning sensation in the lower body, difficulty walking,

3) Difficulty in urination and defecation: mainly due to pain and fear of worsening pain after defecation, so people dare not defecate, which may eventually lead to fecal ileus. At this time, there are often complications such as abdominal pain, bloating, and cessation of defecation and gas discharge from the anus;

4) Fever: It is mainly seen in some patients with more serious conditions. Pain and other stress factors lead to the release of inflammatory mediators such as serotonin and interleukin in the body, resulting in an increase in the body temperature set point.

5) Inguinal lymph node enlargement: mainly manifested by lower abdominal pain accompanied by pain on the outer side of one thigh. Enlarged lymph nodes can be palpated by palpation, and the diagnosis can be confirmed by color Doppler ultrasonography of the inguinal lymph nodes.

6) Others: mainly symptoms of abscesses penetrating related tissues, such as pus discharge from the urethra orifice and obvious abnormalities in urethral secretions;
