Study Notes
Bartholin Gland Cyst and Abscess
- Bartholin glands located at 5 and 7 o'clock positions of the vaginal entrance secrete mucus for vulvar lubrication.
- Bartholin duct cyst caused by obstruction from infection, trauma, mucus changes, or congenital narrowing.
- Management for Bartholin’s cyst includes marsupialization.
Vulvar Infection
- Pediculosis (phthirus pubis) diagnosed via direct microscopy.
- Treatment options for Pediculosis include:
- Permethrin 1% cream rinse or pyrethrin with piperonyl butoxide.
- Alternatives are malathion 0.5% lotion or oral ivermectin.
- Scabies diagnosed using the scratch technique (microscopy).
- Treatment for Scabies involves permethrin 5% cream or oral ivermectin.
- Molluscum contagiosum is another name for poxvirus.
- Diagnosis of poxvirus via visual inspection and microscopy showing intra-cytoplasmic bodies.
