What are the dangers of Bartholinitis during pregnancy?

Nowadays, Bartholinitis is a common gynecological disease. The incidence rate of Bartholinitis is very high, so many women are more concerned about the problem of Bartholinitis. Now many women have raised the question of what impact Bartholinitis has on women's pregnancy and fertility. In response to this problem of women, experts from gynecological hospitals have given a detailed explanation.

1. How should Bartholinitis be treated?

1. For acute inflammation, bed rest and antibiotic treatment are recommended.

2. Apply local hot compress or sitz bath.

3. After the abscess is formed, incision and drainage are performed, and ostomy is performed.

2. How to prevent the occurrence of Bartholinitis?

Bartholinitis is mainly caused by bacterial infection of the Bartholin glands, which in turn causes poor drainage of the gland duct opening. Therefore, keeping the vulva clean is the main way to prevent infection. Washing the vulva every day, not wearing nylon underwear, and timely treatment of vulvitis can prevent the occurrence of Bartholinitis to a certain extent.

3. Can I get pregnant if I have Bartholin's glanditis?

The Bartholin's glands are a pair of glands at the vaginal opening. Their function is to secrete lubricating fluid to increase the lubrication of the penis when it is pumped in the vagina. They have nothing to do with pregnancy. So they have no effect on having children. In addition, there are no sequelae if the surgery is done, and they have no effect on sexual life. Moreover, if the treatment is thorough, there will be no recurrence. As for whether it affects having children, it depends on whether it is inflamed at that time.

4. What diseases can easily be confused with Bartholinitis?

It is mainly differentiated from Bartholin's gland cyst: their common feature is that both have lumps in the Bartholin's glands. However, Bartholinitis is characterized by fever, and examination shows that the lumps are red, with obvious swelling and pain, and fluctuating sensations. When pressure is applied, pus can be seen overflowing from the gland opening, while Bartholin's gland cysts have unchanged skin color, cystic lumps, no tenderness, no pus overflowing when pressure is applied, and no systemic symptoms such as fever.

5. How to treat acute Bartholinitis?

After suffering from acute Bartholin's glanditis, the patient is in great pain and his daily activities will be restricted. At this time, he should rest in bed and keep the vulva clean. While using broad-spectrum antibiotics for anti-inflammatory treatment, you can choose to use Chinese herbal medicine decoctions that clear away heat and detoxify, reduce swelling and disperse knots, such as Forsythia suspensa, honeysuckle, wild chrysanthemum, Viola yedoensis, Phellodendron chinense, Scrophularia ningpoensis, Isatis root, etc., and take a sitz bath for 20 minutes each time when the liquid is cool, 1 to 2 times a day. After the abscess is formed, incision and drainage and ostomy should be performed in time. Simple drainage can only temporarily relieve symptoms. After the incision is closed, Bartholin's gland abscess or cyst may still form. If there is a small break and the pus is not discharged smoothly, the incision should be expanded for drainage.

Through the above experts' introduction, I believe you have a full understanding of some relevant knowledge about Bartholinitis. Experts hope that women can learn more about this knowledge, so as to improve the safety awareness of women about Bartholinitis and ultimately improve their physical and mental safety and health.
