Patient's question:
What is Bartholinitis and is it serious? What tests are done at the hospital?Doctor's answer:
Vaginal glanditis and inflammation of the vaginal glands. The openings of the vaginal glands are located on the inner side of the labia minora near the hymen margin. During sexual intercourse, miscarriage, childbirth, or other situations where the external genitalia are contaminated, pathogens can easily invade and cause inflammation.Medical advice: Generally, the disease can be diagnosed after a doctor's examination at the hospital. Alternatively, secretions from the vaginal gland openings can be taken for pathogenic microbial testing to identify the pathogen.
