Abstract

Bartholin's gland abscesses are a relatively common gynaecological condition that can lead to significant discomfort and complications if not managed properly. These abscesses typically result from ductal obstruction or infection of the Bartholin glands, causing localized pain, swelling, and erythema. This study evaluated the incidence, clinical presentation, management strategies, and treatment outcomes of Bartholin's gland abscesses at Rabia Balkhi Hospital, Afghanistan, in 2022. A retrospective cohort study used hospital records of women diagnosed with Bartholin's gland abscesses. Twenty-three cases (n = 23) were identified, representing 0.6% of all gynaecological admissions. The most affected age group was 25-35, accounting for 52% of cases. The most common symptoms included severe localized pain (96%), swelling (87%), and erythema (96%). Incision and drainage were the most commonly performed treatment (74%), followed by marsupialization (17%) and drainage tube insertion (9%). The recurrence rate was 13%, and no significant complications were observed. Statistical analysis showed that the highest incidence was in the 25-35-year age group, with a statistically significant association between age and treatment outcomes (p < 0.05). In conclusion, Bartholin's gland abscesses are relatively rare but more common in women aged 25-35. Incision and drainage remain the most effective treatment, with a low recurrence rate. These findings highlight the importance of early diagnosis and intervention to prevent complications. Further studies with larger sample sizes and longer follow-up periods are needed to refine treatment protocols and minimize recurrence rates.

Abstract

Bartholin gland abscesses represent a significant gynecological condition requiring proper clinical management to prevent complications. These abscesses develop from ductal obstruction or infection of the bartholin glands, manifesting as localized pain, swelling, and erythema. Understanding their clinical presentation and management is crucial for optimal patient care in resource-limited settings. This study aimed to evaluate the incidence, clinical presentation, management strategies, and treatment outcomes of bartholin gland abscesses at Rabia Balkhi Hospital, Afghanistan, in 2022. This retrospective cohort study analyzed the hospital records of women diagnosed with Bartholin's gland abscesses. The study identified 23 cases (n = 23), representing 0.6% of all gynecological admissions. The data collected included demographic information, clinical presentations, treatment approaches, and outcome measures. Among the 4,140 gynecological admissions, 23 cases (0.6%) of Bartholin gland abscesses were identified. The majority of cases (52%) occurred in women aged 25-35 years, with predominant clinical manifestations, including severe localized pain (96%), erythema (96%), and swelling (87%). This study employed three primary treatment modalities: incision and drainage (74%), marsupialization (17%), and drainage tube insertion (9%). Treatment outcomes demonstrated favorable results, with pain resolution achieved in 87% of patients within 48 hours postintervention. The overall recurrence rate was 13%, with no major complications observed during the study period. Bartholin gland abscesses predominantly affect women aged 25-35 years, and incisions and drainage are the most effective treatments. These findings emphasize the importance of early intervention and appropriate treatment selection on the basis of patient characteristics
