How long can you live with late-stage Bartholinitis?

Bartholinitis is an inflammation of the Bartholin glands, which are located in the lower third of the labia majora on both sides. They are about 0.5-1.0 cm in diameter, and the gland opening is located on the inner side of the labia minora near the hymen. Under the stimulation of sexual intercourse, mucus is secreted for lubrication. Due to the special anatomical location, pathogens are easily invaded and cause Bartholinitis.

In the late stage of Bartholinitis, it will appear in the form of Bartholin's gland cyst. With timely treatment, it is very likely to be cured and will not directly threaten life. Let's take a look at how to treat Bartholinitis in general. In the early stage of Bartholinitis, systemic antibiotics can be used for treatment. Since Bartholinitis caused by gonococci has been increasing in recent years, it is best to squeeze the urethral opening before taking the medicine, or take cervical canal secretions for bacterial culture and do bacterial sensitivity tests. Before the results of the sensitivity test come out, choose antibiotics based on experience. In the acute stage, you should absolutely stay in bed, pay attention to local cleaning, local cold compresses, and apply antibiotics. If an abscess has formed, it should be incised and drained immediately. The incision should be made at the thinnest part of the skin. Generally, a half-arc incision is made on the inner side of the labia majora to drain pus. Various methods for treating Bartholin's gland cysts can also be used.

After suffering from acute Bartholinitis, patients are in great pain and their daily activities are restricted. At this time, they should rest in bed and keep their vulva clean. Experts remind that while using broad-spectrum antibiotics for anti-inflammatory treatment, you can choose to use Chinese herbal medicine decoctions to clear away heat and toxic substances, reduce swelling and disperse knots, but you still need to follow the doctor's advice during the specific treatment process.

The above introduces the treatment method of Bartholin's glands. I hope it can bring more understanding to women. At the same time, I hope that female friends can learn more about Bartholin's glands. Here, gynecologists remind: Bartholin's glands are very harmful and should be taken seriously. Once you feel uncomfortable, you should go to a regular professional gynecological hospital in time.
