Suggest Treatment For A Lump On The Labia Majora

Hi, I am concerned with something I noticed in my vagina. I was doing a check earlier by myself to just take a look. I noticed something inside that wasn t quite right. I always felt something weird down there, like, its hard to explain, but I noticed it often. when I looked, at the inside entrance(if that makes sense) there is a whiteish spherical thing on the left side. It s quite noticeable, I cant see a doctor for a while and I really need to know what it is. I looked at several pictures of normal vaginas and didn t see it on any of them. Do you have any clue on what it is? Is it normal? if not is it deadly???

Hi,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I have read your description and understand your concern.
What problem you could be having inside vagina is 'Bartholin's cyst'. It is a cystic inflammation of glands inside vagina called 'Bartholin's glands'.
Kindly do the following to overcome it.
1. Clean the area with mild antiseptic solution like Povidine-iodine solution twice daily.
2. Take antiinflammatory-analgesic medication like Ibuprofen after food.
3. Take a course of antibiotics containing Amoxacillin and Clavulenic acid.
4. Take Sitz bath twice daily.
5. Abstain from sexual activities till the lesions heal completely.
It should start to subside by doing above measures by 3 to 5 days.
In case the cyst recurs or does not subside, you may have to undergo a procedure called 'marsupialization'. Kindly consult Gynecologist for evaluation and management.
Hope the information provided would be helpful.
All the best.
