What is the cause of genital redness and swelling?

Due to the private location of the genitals, women find it difficult to speak up after discovering any discomfort, which can worsen the original condition. Redness and swelling of the genitals are common manifestations of female perineal diseases. The subjective manifestation of many diseases is redness and swelling of the genitals. One of the most common diseases is Bartholin's gland cyst. The following editor will introduce some basic knowledge about Bartholin's gland cyst for you to understand more.

Bartholin's gland cyst is caused by obstruction of the Bartholin's gland duct and accumulation of secretions. After the acute inflammation subsides, if the gland duct is blocked and the secretions cannot be discharged, the pus gradually turns into clear liquid and forms a cyst. Sometimes the mucus in the gland cavity is thick or the congenital gland duct is narrow and the drainage is poor, which can also form a cyst. If there is a secondary infection, abscesses will form and recur repeatedly. This disease mostly occurs in women of childbearing age.

The key to preventing this disease is to pay attention to the cleanliness of the vulva and prevent Bartholinitis. Bartholin's gland cyst can exist for a long time without changing for many years. If it does not interfere with daily life, it can be observed regularly without treatment. If the cyst gradually grows larger and becomes inflamed and painful, antibiotics (such as amoxicillin, cephalosporin, etc.) can be taken for treatment. In the past, cyst removal surgeries were often associated with the possibility of bleeding. If the cyst wall extended to near the urethra, the surgical operation would be difficult or the cyst wall could not be completely removed, and there was a possibility of recurrence. Severe scars may cause difficulty in sexual intercourse, so resection is now only used for patients with suspected malignant lesions. After years of practice, cystoplasty (marsupial suture) has been proven to be simple, safe, with few complications, low recurrence rate, and can maintain gland function. It can also be used for Bartholin's gland abscess. The treatment for larger cysts is Bartholin's gland ostomy, which is a simple operation with good efficacy and can maintain the function of the Bartholin's glands.

After the above description, female friends should have a deeper understanding of this disease. Here the editor recommends that all women should seek medical attention immediately once they find discomfort in the genitals. Do not delay the best time for treatment because of feeling shy about this part. The severity of genital diseases can be serious or minor.
