In the busy city life, health is often a part of our overlook. Until one day, the discomfort of the body is like a time bomb that suddenly explodes in our peaceful life.
It was an ordinary weekend, and Xiao Zhang was cleaning at home as usual. Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain in her vulva, as if she had been bitten hard by something. She hurriedly sat down to check, only to see a red and swollen bag appear on her vulva, and the slightest touch made her frown. Xiao Zhang's heart suddenly swelled with uneasiness, and she couldn't help but secretly speculate that this sudden discomfort was a sign of some intractable gynecological disease?
Doubts and struggles
Xiao Zhang's husband saw that her face was pale and asked her about her physical condition with concern. She hesitated, but decided to tell her husband about her symptoms. After learning of the situation, the husband decisively suggested that she should arrange time to go to the hospital for a thorough health screening as soon as possible. Xiao Zhang was a little hesitant. She was afraid of facing the doctor's inquiries and examinations, and she was even more afraid that she really had some incurable disease.
With her husband's encouragement, Xiao Zhang finally mustered up the courage and decided to go to the hospital for help. She arranged a gynecological consultation the next morning, but her heart was like a turbulent wave, full of worry and uneasiness.
Early the next morning, Xiao Zhang stepped into the door of the hospital with mixed feelings. The doctor asked Xiao Zhang about his symptoms in detail with concern, and then conducted a comprehensive and detailed physical examination. After a thorough examination, the doctor solemnly informed Xiao Zhang that she was suffering from Bartholin's adenitis. It is a common gynecological disease that is mainly caused by bacterial infection, which usually manifests as symptoms such as redness, swelling, and pain in the vulva.
The doctor patiently explained to Xiao Zhang that the Bartholin's gland is located on the dorsal side of the labia majora, and its glandular opening is cleverly hidden on the inside of the labia minora, close to the position of the hymen. Due to its unique physiology, once the vulva is contaminated during sexual intercourse, childbirth, or daily activities, pathogens can take advantage of it and invade rapidly, eventually leading to the onset of inflammation. If treatment is not followed up in time, inflammation is likely to worsen, eventually resulting in a severe Bartholin's abscess.
After hearing the doctor's explanation, Xiao Zhang's sense of panic was slightly relieved. She asked the doctor how the disease should be treated. The doctor told her that the acute phase could be treated with antibiotics, while taking care of rest and local hygiene. The formation of an abscess requires immediate surgical intervention and precise incision to ensure that the pus drains smoothly and thus relieves the pain.
After the professional guidance of the doctor, Xiao Zhang embarked on a new journey of treatment. Zhang strictly followed the doctor's instructions, took antibiotics regularly, and insisted on cleaning the vulva with warm water every day to ensure hygiene. Zhang also pays special attention to avoiding sexual activity and strenuous exercise, aiming to prevent further deterioration of his condition.
After a period of meticulous treatment and meticulous recuperation, Xiao Zhang's condition gradually stabilized and his symptoms were relieved. The redness and swelling in the vulva gradually subsided and the pain was much lessened. Eventually, after the Bartholin's gland abscess formed, the doctor performed an incision and drainage surgery for her. After the surgery, Xiao Zhang recovered quickly and recovered soon after.
If you are unwell, you should seek medical attention and seek help from a medical professional, rather than delaying or self-medicating. At the same time, she also realized the importance of disease prevention, such as paying attention to personal hygiene in daily life and avoiding sexual impurities to reduce the risk of infection.
