Suggest Treatment For Small Knot On The Labia Majora

Hello. I am 27 years old and sexually active with my husband. I have a small knot on the right side on my labia manora (spell check) its tender to the touch and alittle swollen. Its not like a bump its hard. I had one about a month ago in the same spot. What could this be? Should I be worried? It went away last time.

Hi,
I understand your query.
The small knot on labia minora ( on margin of vagina) is mostly due to blockage of Bartholin glands leading to it's inflammation.
You had it in the past also, it disappeared to recur again.
The inflammation & tenderness indicate infection. You should start with-
- Antibiotic like Ciprofloxin with tinadazole (Cifran TZ ) with tab. Ibuprofen 400 mg twice a day after food .
- keep the area clean( with hot water)
- take the course for 3-5 days till swelling goes completely.
- If this turns in an abscess surgical drainage followed by dressings & oral medication is needed.
Please check with a gynecologist before you start the medicines for proper dosage according to severity & your tolerance.
Thanks.
