Infection is one of the factors contributing to vestibular gland cysts. Prevention should focus on four aspects

Vestibular gland cyst is a gynecological disease with multiple causes, among which infection is one of the main causes. We need to have an understanding of this disease and also pay attention to reasonable prevention.

Causes of Vestibular Gland Cysts

1. Infection: After the disappearance of the vestibular gland abscess, pus is absorbed, and the glandular cavity is densely blocked by mucus.

2. Atrial duct injury: When a woman gives birth, it may be damaged during lateral perineal incision, leaving severe scar tissue after lateral incision. The vestibular duct is blocked, causing a cyst of the vestibular gland. Of course, this reason is relatively small.

3. Stenosis or atresia of the cavity: This is usually congenital atresia, and this condition is also rare in women. Therefore, vestibular gland inflammation is the biggest cause of vestibular gland cysts, so to avoid cysts, it is necessary to treat inflammation well.

4. History of unclean sexual intercourse: If the male partner has contracted gonorrhea and has not been completely cured and has sexual intercourse with him, gonococci from the head of the penis enter the gland through the opening of the vestibular duct at the vaginal opening; During menstrual intercourse, pathogenic bacteria in the menstrual blood can also be "pressed" into the opening of the duct and enter the deep part of the gland.

5. Not paying attention to external genital cleaning: Touch the genital area with dirty hands, not washing the external genitalia every day, but changing underwear. Pathogens multiply and increase at the vaginal opening, entering the gland through the glandular duct opening, which is common among unmarried girls.

Prevention of Vestibular Gland Cysts

1. Pay attention to the local sanitation of vulva, change underwear at ordinary times, absolutely bedridden in acute stage, pay attention to local cleaning, local cooling, and apply antibiotic.

2. Young women and children can rinse their genitals with low concentration potassium permanganate water. They should avoid using fishy flavors such as tobacco, alcohol, fish, eggs, and stimulating foods such as scallions, garlic, and chili peppers in their daily diet.

3. Regular gynecological examinations, while recognizing the symptoms of vestibular gland cysts, and early detection and treatment of diseases are also important aspects of effective prevention of vestibular gland cysts.

4. Use a dedicated washbasin sitz bath and vaginal medication, wash the lower body and feet with a high-temperature disinfectant towel, and wash the underwear independently. When exposed to sunlight, the genitals may feel faint pain.

Harm of Vestibular Gland Cyst

1. The vestibular gland is located at the posterior part of the greater genitalia on both sides, and the glandular opening is located on the inner side of the lesser genitalia near the membranous area of unmarried women. Due to the characteristics of the anatomical site, pathogens can easily infiltrate and cause inflammation when contaminating the external genitalia during sexual activity, childbirth, or other situations.
