Suggest Treatment For Cyst-like Bump On Labia
Question: I have a cyst-like bump on labia. I also notice pain in left breast so i am wondering if there is an infection associated with this cyst. i have been putting hot compresses on the cyst this morning.
Brief Answer:
bartholin cyst of labia...benign cyst and not infection
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for contacting HCM.
If you have a cyst like bump over your labia and its solid cystic in feel and have mild pain accompanied then it is likely to be a benign bartholin's cyst which can occur due to cystic collection of fluid in the Bartholin's gland withing the labia majora. This if remain dormant and not increase in size , then needs no intervention and hot fomentation can be continued for relief, but this is not an infection , just a cystic collection.
The breast pain is unrelated to the cyst completely and may be experienced as part of PMS o premenstrual syndrome as sore breasts which may indicate that menses are to ensue in few days. or pain in only left breast could be due to mechanical injury possibly during foreplay and sexual activity.
I hope i have answered your query in detail,
wishing you good health,
regards

Thanks for your answer. If you notice....i am 60 thus don't have PMS. And no sexual activity. Is it possible pain in left breast is connected to sweat gland?
Brief Answer:
mammography recommended
Detailed Answer:
Well in that case i suggest a mammographic examination of the breast if the pain is diffuse and not localized over one particular area of the left breast which could have then be possibly associated with follicilitis or carbuncle formation.
