Causes of inflammation
- Bacterial infections, such as staphylococcus, or bacteria associated with sexually transmitted diseases, such as gonorrhea or chlamydia.
- Bartholin’s duct obstruction prevents fluid from leaving the gland.
Bartholin’s gland inflammation
- Pain in the vagina or groin area
- There is a lump or sac near the vagina.
- The affected area may be swollen, red and hot.
- May have fever and pain when walking or sitting.
Diagnosis
Diagnosis of Bartholin’s glands usually begins with a medical history and physical examination. The doctor will examine the external genitalia for swelling, redness, or the appearance of an abscess. If the doctor suspects an infection, the abscess may be drained and cultured. This helps identify the type of bacteria causing the infection and helps in choosing the right antibiotic. In some cases, especially in women over 40 years of age, the doctor may recommend further tests, such as a biopsy, to rule out other conditions, such as cancer, especially if an abnormal lump is found.
Treatment
- Use of antibiotics in cases of infection
- Puncture of the cyst to drain fluid
- In severe cases, surgery or the insertion of a drainage tube may be required.
Whether it is a Bartholin’s gland abscess or a common abscess in the female genital area, you should not drain the abscess and treat it yourself because it will cause infection and the inflammation to spread. It is not possible to completely cure the abscess. Taking care of your health to reduce the risk of Bartholin’s gland inflammation can be done by yourself, such as keeping it clean, avoiding moisture in the genital area, and frequently observing abnormalities in the vaginal area. If in doubt, see a doctor immediately for advice and treatment.
