BARTHOLIN GLAND.

Ang Bartholin
gland ay dalawang maliliit na glandula na kasinlaki ng gisantes na matatagpuan sa magkabilang gilid ng bukana ng puwerta.

Hindi ito usually nakakapa.

Naglalabas ang mga ito ng mucus na tumutulong sa lubrication ng va**na.

Kapag nabaraduhan ang kanilang mga duct, maaaring maipon ang mucus at magdulot ng isang masakit na cyst ~ Bartholin's cyst.

Kapag naman ito ay naimpeksiyon, maaari itong maging isang masakit na bukol na puno ng nana ~ Bartholin's abscess.

Kadalasang kabilang sa paggamot ang
β€’ hot sitz bath
β€’ incision and drainage
β€’ marsupialization
β€’ at pag-inom ng antibiotics.

Karaniwang inirerekomenda ang excision o tuluyang pagtanggal nito kapag hindi naging epektibo ang ibang paraan ng paggamot.

Sa pasyenteng ito, tinanggal na namin ang kanyang Bartholin gland sa kanan sa mga sumusunod na kadahilanan:
β€’ ang kanyang Bartholin's abscess ay
paulit-ulit na bumabalik sa iisang side,
β€’ matinding pananakit,
β€’ cannot totally rule out the possibility of cancer, baka malignant, lalo na at ang pasyenteng ito ay higit sa 40 taong gulang na.

This is another case of abnormal Uterine Bleeding in a 40 year old patient.

She's been experiencing heavy and prolonged me**es for several months prompting her initial consultation with me.

TVS showed thickened endometrial lining kahit na 2 weeks na siyang nireregla.

Bumaba na rin ang kanyang hemoglobin rendering her anemic.

We did hysteroscopy, targeted biopsy and curettage.

This is from a 40 year-old patient that experienced heavy and prolonged me**es, irregularly, for 4 months before consulting in the clinic.

Ang regla ay heavy o malakas kapag kinakailangang magpalit ng napkin every 1-2 hours, may kasamang buo buong dugo, nagiging sanhi ng pag absent sa trabaho dahil sa panghihina, pananakit ng puson, at nagdudulot ng anemia.

Ito naman ay prolonged kung lagpas na ng 7 days.

Lahat ito ay na experience ng pasyente. In fact, she was on her 9th day of me**es when she consulted.

She was so pale then. The complete blood count we requested showed severe anemia with hemoglobin of 6 g/dL.

TVS showed endometrial and endocervical polyps.

This patient was admitted for blood transfusion and hysteroscopy.

On hysteroscopy though, we didn't find any polyps, endometrial nor endocervical.

The endometrial lining is still thick despite of bleeding for more than 7 days.

We did targeted biopsy and D&C awaiting results.

Her bleeding
stopped right away after the procedure.

We sent her home with corrected anemia.

Now we wait and pray for benign results.

May nakita akong pasyente kahapon.

Binigyan siya ng Progestin-Only-Pill (POP) as contraception ng kanyang OB-GYN pagkatapos manganak.

Ito ang napili nilang contraceptive method dahil siya ay nagpadede.

Tama.

Then she discontinued it after 3 years when she discontinued breastfeeding.

Very good.

Pumunta siya sa botika at nagtanong sa pharmacist kung anung pills ang pwede nyang ipalit.

Uhm... parang hindi ito tama.

Binigyan cya ng combined oral contraceptive pills (COC).

At ang sabi raw sa kanya ay inumin din ito ng tulad ng pag inom nya ng POP.

Uhm...medyo mali kasi...

Sinunod nya ang pharmacist and after 8 months, na hindi siya nireregla dahil sa tuloy tuloy na pag inom ng COC, she decided to consult.

Note: Please consult a doctor or an OB-GYN first when taking oral contraceptive pills (OCP).

Let us explain to you well how to take your pills, when to take your pills, the side effects, what to expect... the pros and cons of each type of OCP.

Bibigyan namin kayo ng pills or contraceptive na babagay sa inyo.

Ikaw, tama ba ang pag-inom mo ng pills?

Consult your OB-GYN.
