Prevention of bartholinitis
If one wants to prevent bartholinitis, the first and simplest measure is adequate hygiene of the genital area. This includes among other things protected sexual intercourse. The aim is to keep the number of pathogens that cause bartholinitis as low as possible while maintaining the natural and protective flora of the genital area.
However, one should be careful when choosing a product. Many hygiene products from the drugstore can irritate the very sensitive area more than they protect it, i.e. the body’s own protective barrier of the mucous membranes can be attacked. Therefore: less is more – rather work with more gentle products – water and some pH-neutral soap are completely sufficient.
