    Bartholitis

    Uploaded by

    Fawzia Haznah Nurul Imani
    Bartholinitis is an inflammation of the Bartholin's glands, which are located on either side of the vaginal opening. It is commonly caused by bacteria like staphylococci, gonococci, and E. coli entering through the gland's duct. The infection then spreads within the gland, causing pain, swelling, and the potential formation of an abscess. Treatment involves antibiotics in early stages and complete drainage of any abscess through marsupialization, where the abscess wall is sutured to the skin to form a pouch and allow continued drainage.

    What is the anatomical location of


    Bartholins glands
    Bartholinitis: inflammation of one or
    both gland or ducts
    Causative agents: staphylococci,
    gonococci, E. coli, STD pathogens
    Bartholin glands

    Two in number.
    Lie posteriolaterally to the
    vaginal orifice, one on
    either side
    Normally not seen nor felt.
    If enlarged, can be a
    painless cyst or painful
    abscess
    Pathogenesis
    Infection intrudes through the outward
    glandular duct (canaliculitis) ------ spreads
    to the parenchyma (serous, purulent
    inflammation)------false abscess
    Outcomes recurrent, persist, Bartholins
    cyst
    Complete drainage
    Incomplete drainage
    Infection abate
    Clinical manifestation
    Malaise, weakness, swollen feeling in
    the external genitals, rising
    temperature ( acute phase )
    Swelling and hyperemia, tenderness,
    hectic temperature, chills (false
    abscess),
    Retention cyst (chronic phase),
    tendency to recur
    Treatment
    Early stage: antibiotic, analgesics,
    hot bath
    Abscess formed: complete drainage
    marsupialization---pouch making
    Antibiotic + pus culture
    Bartholins cyst in women of > 50
    ys, biopsy is recommended.
