What is the cause of swelling and pain in the genitals?

Gynecological diseases are common among women. For women, gynecological diseases bring pressure to them like a nightmare. You need to pay attention to your body at ordinary times. If any problem occurs, you should go to the hospital for a gynecological examination in time to avoid delaying treatment. Vagina swelling and pain is also a gynecological disease, but it is often ignored by women, resulting in adverse consequences. So, let you understand the causes of vulva swelling and pain, which need to be taken seriously.

Vulvar swelling and pain is the most common benign vaginal tumor. There are no glands in the normal vagina, but isolated aberrant crypts can occasionally be found, which can form retention cysts containing fluid. It is not a neoplastic or proliferative tumor. Generally, the cyst epithelium originates from the Müllerian duct, mesonephric duct and urogenital sinus during the embryonic period. Ovarian coronal duct cysts originate from the events of the medullary duct.

Vaginal cysts are divided into two categories: epithelial cysts and embryonic relic cysts. Epithelial-containing cysts are caused by damage to the vaginal mucosa during childbirth, or the vaginal mucosa is rolled into the deep vagina during vaginal suture. After the wound heals, the mucosa continues to proliferate and desquamate, and then liquefies to form cysts. There are usually no symptoms and it is often discovered during examination. Embryonic relic cysts are also called mesonephric duct cysts. If the mesonephric duct next to the vagina is blocked, secretions may accumulate and form cysts. They can be seen on the side wall or the anterior wall of the lower part of the vagina. They may appear in clusters or multiples, the size of grapes or ping-pong balls, with thin walls and a single chamber. Generally, no treatment is required if there are no symptoms. However, if the tumor is large or infected, it can be removed.

Surgical resection is the main treatment. If the cyst is not too high, the operation is usually not difficult, but care must be taken during the removal process to avoid injuring the urethra or bladder. If the tumor is large and located deep in the fornix and extends into the broad ligament, it is impossible to completely remove it vaginally, and it is very difficult even if surgery is performed abdominally at the same time. Some authors believe that after scraping the remaining cyst wall with a curette, the edges of the stump are sutured together with the corresponding edges of the vaginal mucosal incision to form a stoma, and then the vagina is filled with gauze to compress the remaining cyst cavity. It is possible to make the remaining cyst wall completely adhere and close. Even if it cannot adhere and close, it will not inflate again.

After the operation, you should rest and avoid overwork. It is best to rest in bed. Avoid spicy or greasy food; eat more green leafy vegetables, such as cabbage, spinach, celery, bell pepper, cabbage, etc. You can drink some easily digestible rice porridge. Pay attention to the hygiene of your genitals. Don’t stay up late at night. It is very harmful to your body and will affect your body’s recovery.
