Acute Bartholinitis Symptoms

Acute Bartholinitis requires prompt medical attention as it can lead to severe discomfort and complications. The Bartholin glands are located near the opening of the female vagina and their main function is to secrete lubricating fluid. If this area becomes infected with bacteria, it can cause acute inflammation. Usually, bacterial infections are caused by poor personal hygiene, low immunity, or recent manipulation of the reproductive system. This inflammation can cause swelling, pain, and even fever in the genital area, sometimes accompanied by increased discharge.

If you feel discomfort in your genital area, it is recommended to first observe whether there is obvious swelling and pain, and pay attention to whether there are signs of elevated body temperature. Patients are often aware of local tenderness, especially when walking or sitting down; sometimes bacterial infection will cause suppuration, which may make the pain worse. In some cases, abscesses will form in the Bartholin's glands, causing further symptoms. Pay close attention to these changes, because the rapid development may make it more difficult to treat them on your own.

Maintaining good personal hygiene is the key to preventing the disease, especially during menstruation. If you have similar symptoms, do not take medicine on your own or delay treatment. You should consult a professional doctor, who will prescribe antibiotics according to the severity of the infection, or perform surgical treatment if necessary. Appropriate anti-infection therapy can usually effectively eliminate symptoms. In daily life, maintaining cleanliness and immunity, as well as taking disinfection measures when dealing with any reproductive system-related diseases, can effectively reduce the risk of disease.
