Bartholinitis The Bartholin's glands grow at the lower and back sides of the labia majora, opening in the groove between the vaginal opening, labia minora and hymen. Due to the characteristics of the anatomical location, pathogens can easily invade and cause inflammation. 2. Bartholin's gland cyst If the opening of the gland duct is blocked due to inflammatory congestion and increased secretions, the exudate accumulates in the gland cavity and forms a tumor that protrudes outward - the Bartholin's gland cyst. When suffering from Bartholinitis, you should stay in bed and rest, and pay attention to keeping the vulva clean. 3. Vulvar ulcer Vulvar ulcers often occur on the inner side of the labia majora and labia minora, and are more common in middle-aged and young people. The main manifestation is varying degrees of epidermal damage in the vulva, which often recurs and is difficult to cure. If vulvar ulcers occur at the same time as eye inflammation and oral ulcers, it is called eye, mouth, and genital syndrome, which may be accompanied by high fever and local severe pain. Repeated attacks are associated with a poor prognosis. It is also clinically known as Behcet's disease. 4. Genital warts on vulva It is a small growth caused by a viral infection that occurs at the junction of the skin and mucous membrane and sometimes fuses into a cauliflower shape. It is transmitted through contact and recurs repeatedly. |
