Teenager With Painfull Reddish Swollen Labia Majora. What Could Be The Reason?
My daughter has just told me she has a very painful red and swollen labia majora on her left side and it feels a little hard to touch - she has had this about 24 hours and says is very uncomfortable to sit and stand, I have run her a warm bath and added apple cider viengar and sea salt for her to sit in for 20 minutes or so as it is very late but should she see a doctor tomorrow - she is only 15 and very shy about this problem?

Hi,
Looks like your teenager is suffering from Bartholin gland infection.These are small glands present in labia majora.At present what you have done is correct inaddition you could give her a good painkiller to relieve her of the pain.She needs to be examined by her docter to know whether antibiotics alone or a minor surgery needs to be carried out to treat the infection.
Bye
Take Care.
