  1. BARTHOLINITIS PRESENTED BY MUSKAN TIWARI M.SC. NURSING

  2. DEFINITION • Bartholinitis is a disease characterized by the development of the inflammatory process in the Bartholin's gland.

  3. CAUSES • A body saturated in toxins, which accumulate in different areas of the body, like in these glands . • Lack of feminine hygiene, using tight clothing or synthetic fibers. • Excessive stress could cause this inflammation. • Frequent change of sexual partners, greatly increasing the risk of contracting diseases that are sexually transmitted. • Due to scratching, rubbing of the genitalia.

  4. SIGN AND SYMPTOMS • Dark red inflammation in the area. • According to the intensity of the infection and if a lump fills with a smelly fluid that has a strong and unpleasant odor. • Pain and inflammation could increase if the woman stands or walks too much. • Pain and burning. • Raised body temperature to 39°C. • Weakness

  5. TREATMENT • Treatment depends on the severity of symptoms. If there are no symptoms, no treatment may be needed. • If a cyst is causing problems, drainage is recommended. The preferred method of drainage is the insertion of a Word catheter. The catheter stays in place for 2 to 4 weeks draining the fluid and causing a normal gland opening to form, after which the catheter is removed. The catheters do not generally impede normal activity, but sexual intercourse is generally abstained from while the catheter is in place .

  6. CONT • Cysts may also be opened permanently, a procedure called Marsupialization, in which an opening to the gland is formed with stitches to hold the secretion channel open. • If a cyst is infected, it may break open and start to heal on its own after 3 to 4 days. Nonprescription pain medication such as ibuprofen relieves pain, and a Sitz bath may increase comfort. Warm compresses can speed healing. If a Bartholin gland abscess comes back several times, the gland and duct can be surgically removed

  7. PREVENTION • Observance of the rules of hygiene of external genital organs is of fundamental importance. • Timely treatment of foci of chronic infection: urethritis, colpitis, caries pyelonephritis etc. • Annual preventive visit to the gynecologist even in the absence of complaints. • Avoiding wearing tight underwear, especially synthetic one. • General strengthening of immunity: full sleep, proper nutrition, sufficiently active way avoidance of hypothermia, etc.
