How long can you live with late-stage Bartholinitis?

The Bartholin's glands are easily contaminated during menstruation, childbirth or sexual intercourse, which causes bacteria to invade the gland ducts and cause congestion and edema, which is called Bartholin's gland inflammation. Bartholin's gland inflammation often occurs in the reproductive age, and rarely occurs in infants and postmenopausal women. The pathogens are mostly Staphylococcus, Escherichia coli, Streptococcus and Enterococcus, and a few are gonococci. In the acute stage of Bartholin's gland inflammation, the lower 1/3 of the labia majora is painful and swollen, and walking is restricted in severe cases. When abscesses are formed or cysts are large, they must be incised and drained.

Bartholinitis is a common gynecological inflammation. Generally, it can be cured with timely treatment and will not directly affect life expectancy. The combination of Chinese and Western medicine has also achieved good results in the treatment of Bartholinitis. Let's take a look at the treatment methods of combining Chinese and Western medicine.

1. Use antibiotics and Chinese medicine for external treatment

Inflammation of the Bartholin's glands is mostly caused by pathogenic bacteria invading the vulva. Antibiotic treatment has a certain effect, but it is often easy to relapse and repeated infection occurs. Chinese medicine external treatment has a satisfactory effect. For those with obvious gland swelling in the acute stage but not yet purulent, 8 million to 10 million U of penicillin or 320,000 U of gentamicin can be intravenously dripped, and 30g of each of Sophora flavescens, Gentiana scabra, and Licorice can be decocted in the field to remove the residue, and then the affected area can be bathed or fumigated. Phellodendron chinense and Gypsum can also be ground into very fine powder, mixed with sesame oil, and applied to the swollen vulva surface. In addition, when fumigating the vulva, if possible, the vagina should also be flushed at the same time to keep the entire vulva and vagina clean and hygienic.

2. Chinese medicine treatment after abscess incision and drainage

Once an abscess is formed, it should be incised and drained as soon as possible, and thoroughly drained. At this time, Chinese medicine can be taken orally and externally to accelerate the discharge of pus and quickly subside inflammation. The heat-clearing and detoxification method is usually used as the main method, supplemented by blood circulation and blood stasis, softening and dispersing nodules, and draining pus. Medication: Smilax glabra, Shuanghua, Forsythia suspensa, Gleditsia sinensis, Rhizoma Paniculatae, Paeonia lactiflora, Astragalus membranaceus, etc. After incision and drainage, the drainage thread is often soaked with Scutellaria baicalensis, Phellodendron chinense, and Borneol. Then use Jie'eryin lotion or chlorhexidine lotion to clean the vulva and vagina on time.
