Suggest Treatment For Lump On Labia After Childbirth

Posted on Tue, 3 Feb 2015

Question: Hi, i just had a baby 3 months ago and he was a still born . They tested me for STDS and stuff. They said i was fine. After my 6 week post partum check up , i got a lump on my labia next to my vag opening . It is soft and when i stretch my skin out , it goes away. When i touch it , it gets a little hard and irritated but it doesnt bother or does it grow . Do you guys have any idea what it could be?

Please send picture

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

I understand your concerns about lump on labia.

It is difficult to comment on it just based on description. Please click a photograph from your XXXXXXX and send when stretched as well as not stretched. You have a feature to upload the image/pictures by yourself on the right side of this query page. Please utilize it.

This helps me in identifying it accurately.

Hi

This appears to be a hematoma which is not resolved.

This takes time to resolve. Wait for another 2 months for it to disappear.

Does a Hematoma mean some bad?

Answered by Dr. Soumya (4 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
Hematoma will resolve

Detailed Answer:
No. hematoma is just a small collection of blood which happened during delivery, that usually goes off by itself.

It will resolve by itself. Dont worry. Its not major problem.

One doctor said it was a sebaceous cyst

Answered by Dr. Soumya (51 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
Examination required

Detailed Answer:
By picture and history, it does not appear to be a sebaceous cyst. Looks more like a hematoma. It needs to be examined by a doctor in person for accurate diagnosis. This is just my opinion.
