What to do if there is a nodule after Bartholinitis

The appearance of nodules after Bartholin's glanditis may be related to incomplete inflammation, gland duct blockage or cyst formation, and may require medication, hot compress or surgical treatment depending on the specific situation.

1. Inflammation has not completely subsided

Bartholinitis is an inflammation caused by bacterial infection. If the treatment is not thorough, it may lead to local tissue hyperplasia and the formation of nodules. At this time, anti-inflammatory treatment should be continued, such as oral antibiotics such as cephalosporins, amoxicillin or topical anti-inflammatory ointments such as erythromycin ointment. At the same time, keep the area clean and avoid friction and irritation.

2. Glandular duct obstruction

Inflammation may cause gland duct blockage, which prevents secretions from being discharged and forms nodules. Hot compress is an effective way to relieve blockage. Apply warm water to the affected area for 15-20 minutes every day to promote blood circulation and secretion discharge. If the nodules are large or accompanied by pain, local injection of steroid drugs can be considered to help reduce inflammation and soften the nodules.

3. Cyst formation

If the nodule persists and is painless, it may be a Bartholin's gland cyst. Smaller cysts can be treated conservatively, such as hot compresses and local massage, to promote absorption. If the cyst is large or recurrent, surgical treatment, such as cystostomy or excision, is required to completely solve the problem and prevent recurrence.

The treatment of induration after Bartholinitis should be based on the specific situation. It is recommended to be treated under the guidance of a doctor. If the induration is accompanied by obvious pain, redness, swelling or fever, you should seek medical attention in time to rule out the possibility of worsening infection or other complications. In daily life, paying attention to personal hygiene, avoiding sitting for long periods of time and wearing tight clothing can help prevent the occurrence of Bartholinitis and its sequelae.
