Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have a lump on my right labium minora, its just happened today, i dont know if i pinched it with my panties or something but it kind of hurts when i touch it. It s a small red bump. Im not really sure how to explain it. I dont know if i should be worried or if it will go away faster then it came.
For this, there are few causes and the most common is Bartholin's Cyst which is located midway of the labia, and protrudes into the vagina and may cause discomfort during sexual intercourse.
Bartholin's cyst is formed when a Bartholin's gland is blocked, causing a fluid-filled cyst to develop. Bartholin's cyst is not an infection, although it can be caused by an infection, inflammation, or physical blockage (mucus or another impediment) to the Bartholin's ducts (tubes which lead from the glands to the vulva).
Second, infected hair follicle may form a small abscess, which can cause a small swelling, but it is associated with redness and throbbing pain.
Proper diagnosis requires a proper physical examination of the swelling in question. You might consult a gynecologist who can examine and then decide on the appropriate treatment.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
