Bartolinitis is an inflammation of the Bartholin's glands, one of the diseases destined only to the female sector, since these glands only have women, and also, it is one of the mild diseases that generates the most frustrations.
It can affect daily life and sexual life as a couple during the time you suffer. The Bartholin's glands They serve to moisten and lubricate the entrance to the vagina and are about the diameter of a pea. They are found on the sides that embody the labia minora of the vulva and their ducts drain to the inner surface of these.
Regarding Bartolinitis, there is not much precise information about its appearance, although it is especially suffered by women among the 20 and 30 years old, that is to say, when they are in their time of sexual maturity.
It is important to note that the secretion that is created can only get stuck in these glands causing swelling and pain in them, and if it is not treated in time it can become infected.
Bartolinitis is not contagious and it is not a serious disease. It does not affect health in general, what affects the most are the discomfort that reminds you that bartolinitis is still present. Women who have suffered from it can become frustrated when the symptoms do not disappear with conventional treatments and must resort to a small medical intervention. Although we remember that in most cases, in the same way that it appeared out of nowhere, it leaves without saying goodbye.
For what reason do they appear
The maximum is due to the fact that the bacteria found at the entrance of the vagina infect the glands causing their size to increase. Once inflamed, it cannot expel the secretion because its walls stick together and do not allow it to empty, causing a small abscess. In addition, it causes them to be more sensitive to contact and friction.
On the other hand, it can appear due to a cyst in the area. In this case, only one part plugs the gland causing a cavity filled with liquid. Later, the bacteria do the rest, reaching the cyst and causing it to develop into bartolinitis.
These bacteria They do not have to come from a sexually transmitted disease, much less, it can be produced for example by Escherichia coli of the intestine or staphylococci. However, gonorrhea or chlamydia bacteria.
Treatments to cure Bartolinitis
One of the first symptoms we find is the appearance of a lump, a hot nodule, lumpy that hurts if you press on it. In some cases and depending on the size it can hurt when walking or sitting. While in other cases the affected lips or lip may be affected and hurt during sexual intercourse.
Diagnosis is made through examination. People who have suffered more often from a problem of infection or sexually transmitted diseases they tend to be more recurrent to suffer from Bartolinitis.
- Take baths in the area with warm water for several times a day. This is usually enough for milder cases for the cyst to deflate and drain the discharge. If infection occurs, antibiotics should be taken.
- If the abscess does not empty, a surgical drainage will need to be made, that is, creating a small exit channel using a small cut. In this case, a doctor should be seen to have a professional treat the small fissure.
- It is well known that there are many natural treatments that can solve and treat a multitude of minor illnesses. In this case we propose several simple tricks and tips to eliminate Bartholinitis without having to take anything.
- Those should be used Facilities that stand out with antibiotic, anti-inflammatory and emollient properties.
- We highlight el ginger, boldo, absinthe and dandelion, and to consume it the ideal is to make infusions.
- We will introduce in our menu the broccoli, broccoli, garlic, onion, sour fruits and papaya.
- Treat emotions. It is very important when food and infusions have a positive effect on us. When we find ourselves low in morale, spirits and energy, we should cheer ourselves up with positive songs, outings with friends and with healthy foods. The physique can be greatly affected by our emotions, the defenses can go down and we can get sick faster and be cannon fodder for bacteria.
- Finally, we can apply homemade topics in the outer zone of the zone. We recommend vegetable oil because it has antibiotic, anti-inflammatory properties and reduces pain. In addition, it will leave the area hydrated and with an elastic skin and not at all tight. If you do not have essential oils of vegetable seedsWe can turn to vinegar, a powerful disinfectant that has been used forever and that can help the infection disappear completely. To do this, with some gauze soak in hot vinegar and smear the area, this will relieve pain and drain the retained content.
Bartolinitis not a serious infectionIt is suffered only by women and it is not an infectious disease, just very annoying that if it is not treated it can lead to something more serious. Therefore, it is very healthy to explore both our most intimate area and our breasts from time to time. Never obsess but yes keep a slight check of our body.
Ami they already opened me yesterday how long it would take to get the ball down they took a lot of puzzles and it doesn't hurt so much but I'm still with the ball the doctor told me it's because it sounds sencible but the vdd is inomodp
It hurt as they did, and now I am like this a year ago, I swelled up and the gynecologist only took the liquid out with a syringe.
Hello, what can be done if it is not so serious to my jo it hurts if I do not have an itch and it is not a single ball but as if they were pimples on the labia minora I have already taken medicine but it does not work for me and I do not know what to do is not me nothing hurts but if it is annoying to be like this
Hello, I love izabell, it has happened to me 3 times, the first 5 years ago and my gynecologist only drained me with a syrinx, and the second time was 1 month and 2 weeks ago, I was hospitalized for 3 days at the imss and I They put me in the operating room x that according to they opened me and they removed everything bad from the infection and then that would look good ... but last week I returned to the imss x the same and they admitted me again, I applied medical treatment to mature and drain again in the operating room, but it happened that she just broke down and I was discharged the next day ... but I'm still worried because they told me that I would relapse and that worries me and makes me mad ... that I really should do it.
The solution is the total removal of the gland, it is a sac that must be removed in its entirety, if there is any tissue left, the abscess reappears, it is the definitive form of healing
What do I do so that it doesn't hurt, it's ugly, it swelled up very big and it's red
Hello, frida, it will help a lot to do hot water baths 3 times a day. I am doing that now. I put it in a tub with warm water and I also carry a tray of boiling hot water. warm until you hold on eat papaya pineapple until you get ginger to deflate
Even hot water baths 3 times a day that will do well, it may drain only until you have ginger, it helps a lot to reduce inflammation, eat a lot of pineapple and papaya, you have to detoxify your body.
If it is very big, better go to the doctor, it will hurt a little but you will feel better.
Hello girls. I think I am suffering from bartholinitis. Before, I had always come out casually when I got my period. The first time it didn't get inflamed and it didn't bother me in my daily life, just when I touched it I felt it. But it disappeared with the days .. Now I came out again in this month with my arrival of the period but this time it swelled, not so much but it is remarkable. And it bothers me a lot when walking when sitting down, as it rubs against me and it is annoying. I have two days, and I do not know what to do, I have wanted to extrude it myself, because it seems like a ball full of air. But it scares me. What do you recommend?
Hello, I noticed it today and arrived at this site, it is very likely that it is what I have, the ball is about 1 cm. I do not know why it was caused, I do a lot of exercise and I do not tend to take a bath immediately when I finish but in the course I dry myself and so on. I am 18 years old. Do you know of a more efficient way to treat it, tea tree oil?
I appreciate it if anyone knows how it can be eliminated without having to go to eliminate without laser than one of the ways that I could eliminate

Hello girls, today I went to the doctor because days ago I noticed some nice ones in my part and the gynecologist said that it is bartolinitis and pz I was very scared because the more time passes that ball grows more and it hurts
HELLO GIRLS, I HAVE SEEMED THIS FOR TWO YEARS AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO ANYMORE, I HAVE BEEN ENTERED INTO THE DIAGNOSIS, THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WERE GOING TO INTERVENE ME SO THAT IT WAS NO LONGER GOING TO APPEAR AND IT HAS RETURNED. I SWEAR I'M DESPERATE. THIS DAY I WILL GO TO SEE ANOTHER DOCTOR, SEE IF SHE PRESCRIBES ME SOMETHING DEFINITIVE.
Hi, I'm Marlen, and for me, it's the 4th time, but even draining, it comes out again .. and it really is painful for me neither with medications nor with anything .. I have read comments but some of you say that it still comes out again .. They already drained me and no more no ...
hello friends my name is egle 11 years ago for the first time I met this misnamed bartolinitis the process was traumatic incidentally a gynecologist said that the husband hit that man imagine that man as an energumeno saying that he did not have any disease, we It brought a lot of anger and discussions ... then I had surgery and now I had come out again since women really have 4 glands and the fact that only the infected gland is operated on and the others do not get infected at any time makes the same painful and traumatic picture until the dr feels sorry for you and takes them all out ... the couple must take a treatment of antibiotics of azithromycin and secnidazole so that being intimately with you again does not cause the filling of another of the glands if when you operate they did not get them all ... we are fighters when we love these kinds of situations .... luck
Hello, I wanted to know what vinegar is used because I recently got that and I want to treat it, please, someone who tells me
Hello everyone, it is the second time that it comes out in almost a month with barely ... last time I had a really bad time but I drained it myself, do you think it was repeated so quickly because I did not drain it well? I have many questions please help.
Hi, I'm Azucena. I have three days that I found this ball. Apparently it is this annoying gland. It does not hurt, but I am very aware of it when walking. I've been going through a marital separation these days. Is it possible that stress is associated?
Hello girls, I want to share that all that vinegar stuff, and putting on fauces only helps to improve the pain a little but nothing takes away that terrible evil, please go to a good gynecologist to drain them and prescribe a good antibiotic, now good You must allow your gynecologist to do a good check on your uterus, because it may be that an infection of your uterus is causing the gland to be infected periodically. From experience I tell you, do not be left with only the opinion of a single gynecologist.
to do a very deep check-up through vaginal ulcers to see what is really happening in your body.
the first thing they tell you is, your husband gave it to you
the second they drain it and give you antibiotics just to keep you calm for a few days or up to three months but then it comes back.
the third they take it away from you, but until it has been six and more times that it has become inflamed. the doctors in public establishments only mistreat you and do not give you anything definitive.
Good friends! I also had a horrible swelling after two days I went to the doctor because that did not go down the doctor sent me antibiotics and anti-inflammatories for 8 days on the fourth day I returned for a check-up the dra said I had to operate because that no longer went down At the end of the 8 days of treatment it began to drain that if one day before the pain was unbearable, thanks to GOD it has gone down a lot and the pain also within 4 days I have another evaluation then I will tell you you have to have a lot of faith and a little patience that this is going to give way¡¡¡¡¡¡
Greetings Girls I have also suffered from this disease at the moment I am suffering from these severe pains this would be my eighth time. At the beginning they drained it and sent me with antibiotics to my house. I asked my Gynecologist how I could resolve this situation and he replied that he no longer knew what to do with me as of today he reappeared and I have not visited my gynecologist for fear that I would have another surgery. I have looked for information on the internet and apparently these glands can be removed by laser if I do not improve this will be my next step
Hello girls, my name is euge and I am 18 years old, today I just went to the bathroom after feeling a lot of discomfort and itching and I find my lower vaginal lip super inflated, of course at the moment with my partner we get scared and when we read events It would be better to stop alarming me and go to a control, the truth is, thank you and when I take my turn, tell me!
I just went to the bathroom after feeling a lot of discomfort and itching and I find my lower vaginal lip is super inflated, these days I have no partner, and I have a leg I have a cast, I am very worried, what antibiotic could I take while they treat me at the clinic) .. bucolic.
Hello, I also suffered from this and when I wear very tight clothes or some towels they cause me as an allergy also stress, the case that I already feel that I have it I take ibuprofen which is anti-inflammatory and especially hot water compresses with chamomile I really recommend it. A lot makes it drain and deflates but do it several times a day for several days and also used aloe but nothing like the above, sleep free, not with underwear so that the area can rest and ventilate! I really hope it helps you with this advice !!
Hi Bety, thank you for your comment. It is the first time it has happened to me, I have it a month ago and I have taken 3 times the treatment of pills x 7 days and nothing right now I no longer hear or walk or sit I am desperate I do not want to be cut because of that and gone to the Gynecologist, please explain to me what chamomile is like and what to do when it drains on its own, thanks
Hello girls. .. Angie I hope you are well and better, I told me the first time I got "this" was in my first pregnancy (and the second too) ... I came out 3 times in the first pregnancy and 5 times in the 2nd ... lasted between 3 and 5 days ... symptoms unbearable. They had to drain me several times after the pregnancies I didn't get any more ... my gynecologist didn't want to operate on me pregnant so just ... antibiotics ... but when I was no longer pregnant they didn't come out ... the issue is now .... It came out again ... and I'm worried lol if it reappeared I may be pregnant but at the same time I'm on the eighth day of my period ... and I'm confused ... I have a lot of ovarian pain ... when it's normal for me to last 6 days the period and being it in the last ……… well anyway… it stresses me to go through the same thing again… luckily I have mammary and vaginal ultrasounds for Wednesday and then a shift with my gynecologist…. for now I don't want another baby ... stop by to share my experience with the damn bartolino bacteria
Hello, I will tell you about my experience, my first Bartolino came out 11 years ago, the ones that my son now has, it was after delivery, in one of my gynecological examinations, they saw him and they opened it right there and all the pus came out, They did not even put me to sleep or apply anesthesia, I cried like a little girl, I had a worse time than in the (natural) childbirth anyway, now I have come out again, I have been with him for a year, at first I took antibiotic in case I was infected, then I went To the gynecologist, they did not give importance, because it does not hurt and there it is, it does not bother me, nor does it hurt, but it seems that I have a testicle, it has affected me a little in my sexual relations, because I do not want to be touched, but The penetration does not hurt or anything, I dream that it drains me by itself, sometimes I apply compresses with vinegar, I bathe with very hot water for hours, dreaming that it will drain on its own, but there it is, I suppose that in my next visit to the gyne I'll say empty it out, but I'll demand anesthesia or it'll stay with me. Greetings to all. And cheer up. Any.
Hello girls, I'm Kelly, I'm 34 years old, I identify with you, I have almost 10 years with this cyst that swells and drains over and over again, I was drained with a syringe many times but it always came back, I was operated on once 2 years ago and It was an experience for my trauma, very painful, and after 3 months it returned, I did not know what to do I went to endless clinics I was about to intervene again this time to have the entire gland removed but the doctor did not seem reliable because I had already I found out on my part and I knew that an intervention for the total removal of the gland well done was the cure, but when they attended me in the office for that issue the doctor gave me no guarantees, so I returned home to investigate more and took baths of seat with very hot water in 5 liters of water and a cup of white or apple vinegar, I only took those baths 2 times a day in the morning and night, the water should be as hot as your body can bear and while If you are in, do exercises and push as much as you can and try to press down and out the cyst not enough to break but enough to help make the way to the drainage of the cyst, it hurts girls, but it works, I did that for 3 days and the cyst drain alone, and from then until now every week at the beginning 2 times a week and now once or every 15 days I do the same in hot water and a cup of vinegar for at least 30 minutes .. and that has done that the cyst does not re-inflame as before and if it does it is small and goes down on its own, it is IMPORTANT: do not have intercourse if the cyst becomes inflamed a little after these baths, it is better to let it deflate at least a week ... and these sitz baths should be part of the daily routine if it is possible to use a bulb to introduce the water into the vagina ... I hope it will help you with something girls ... hugs and strength for all ...
