Vaginal vestibule swelling

The causes of vaginal vestibule swelling are very complicated. The reason for partial swelling is mainly that the glandular ducts in the vagina hinder the absorption of pus, causing the vaginal secretions to be discharged unsmoothly and resulting in swelling. Vaginal vestibule swelling Unless the condition is very serious, the manifestation of the cyst will not be very obvious, but if the abscess is large and infected, it will cause strong discomfort during sexual intercourse and a feeling of sagging in the genitals.

There are many causes of Bartholin's gland cysts, and they are also complicated. It may be that after the Bartholin's gland abscess subsides, the gland duct is blocked, and the pus is absorbed and replaced by mucous secretions, resulting in a cyst. Of course, it may also be because the mucus in the gland cavity is thick or the congenital gland duct is narrow, and the secretions are not discharged smoothly, causing the cyst; in addition, it may be caused by non-specific inflammation. For example, after the perineum and vagina are lacerated during delivery, the scar blocks the gland duct opening or the perineum, and the oblique incision surgery causes damage to the gland duct. The Bartholin's gland cyst is secondary infected, resulting in repeated attacks of abscesses, and eventually causing Bartholin's gland cysts.

If you suffer from Bartholin's gland cyst disease, if the cyst is small and not infected, the patient will generally not have any symptoms. If the cyst is relatively large, the patient will have a feeling of heaviness in the vulva or discomfort during sexual intercourse. During examination, most of the cysts are unilateral, of course, they may also be bilateral, and appear oval in shape.

Since the cyst can exist for a long time and remain unchanged for many years, regular observation is required and no treatment is required. If the cyst gradually grows larger and affects your life, or it becomes repeatedly infected and often forms abscesses, a Bartholin gland cyst ostomy may be performed. This method is simple, causes little damage, and can preserve gland function. However, the stoma should be large enough. It is best to place a drainage strip after the stoma is created and flush it with hydrogen peroxide or 2% iodine tincture once a day for 3 to 4 times in total to prevent adhesion and closure after surgery and the formation of a cyst again. Once an abscess has formed, it should be incised and drained.

In recent years, CO2 laser has been used for ostomy treatment, with a high cure rate, no adverse reactions, simple operation, short treatment time, no need to suture the wound, and patients can be treated in outpatient clinics. The high thermal effect of the laser can coagulate and carbonize tissue cells. Since the laser has an affinity for hemoglobin, it has a better coagulation effect, less bleeding during and after the operation, and can preserve the normal function of the gland. It has no effect on sexual life, no infection after surgery, and no need for antibiotics. However, the application scope of this technology is not yet widespread and needs further observation and research.
