What is the cause of a lump on the labia?

The labia is an important part of the female reproductive system and is also a place where lesions can easily occur. Once a lesion occurs, women will be very worried. A typical situation is a lump growing on the labia. Because it looks very scary, many women are very worried and concerned about the cause of the disease. So, what is the matter with a lump growing on the labia? Let’s take a closer look at it below.

One is caused by human papillomavirus infection, called genital warts.

Genital warts are a sexually transmitted disease caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection, with proliferative lesions in the anal and genital area as the main manifestation. Most cases occur in young and middle-aged people aged 18 to 50. The disease occurs after an incubation period of about half a month to eight months, with an average of three months. This disease is relatively common and is mainly transmitted through sexual contact.

The second is caused by general vaginal inflammation due to excessive leucorrhea and irritation, which is called pseudo-condyloma.

Pseudocondyloma is a very common vulvar manifestation, which manifests as velvety or villous protrusions on the inner side of the labia minora. They may be pink or slightly transparent, roe-like, and of relatively uniform size, with no subjective symptoms.

The above is an introduction to what happens when a lump grows on the labia. I hope it will be helpful to patients. There are generally two main situations that cause a lump to grow on the labia. If it is genital warts, the consequences will be more serious and may even be transmitted to your partner. When you discover it, it is best to go to a regular hospital for diagnosis and treatment and take effective measures to treat it in time.
