What are the causes of Bartholinitis?

What are the causes of Bartholinitis in women? Bartholinitis is a relatively common disease of the female vulva. For many female patients, the trouble caused by Bartholinitis is unforgettable for their whole life. Many people may not know the causes of Bartholinitis in women. I hope that the following reasons can help everyone to sort out some clues.

There is a soybean-sized gland behind the labia majora on both sides of a woman, opening in the groove between the labia minora and the hymen. This gland is medically known as the Bartholin's gland. When a woman is sexually excited, the Bartholin's gland secretes yellow-white mucus to lubricate the vaginal opening. When the Bartholin's gland is infected with bacteria and causes acute inflammation, Bartholin's glanditis occurs.

So, what are the reasons for women to suffer from Bartholinitis? The reasons for women to suffer from Bartholinitis are generally explained by three reasons: First, childbirth, vaginal surgery may cause bacteria to enter the glands through the wound. Second, not paying attention to the cleanliness of the vulva. If women often touch their vulva with dirty hands and do not pay attention to good hygiene, such as not washing the vulva every day and not changing underwear frequently, the bacteria can multiply and increase at the vaginal opening and enter the glands through the gland duct opening. This is also the reason why unmarried women often suffer from Bartholinitis.

Third, unclean sexual intercourse. When a woman has sex with a man who has gonorrhea and has not been completely cured, the gonococci on the glans of his penis will enter the gland through the opening of the Bartholin's duct at the vaginal opening, causing the bacteria to invade and cause Bartholin's glanditis. Or having sex during menstruation can also press the pathogenic bacteria in the menstrual blood into the opening of the duct and enter the deep part of the gland, causing the disease.

What are the causes of Bartholinitis in women? The above is a brief introduction for reference only. If a female friend finds suspected symptoms of Bartholinitis, she should go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time and not delay the disease.
