There is a hard lump on the female thigh root

When women have pimples on the inner thighs and are accompanied by pain, it often affects their normal walking. This is mostly caused by local infection. Therefore, when these symptoms occur, a good diagnosis should be made and then targeted treatment methods should be adopted. At the same time, daily medical care and health care measures should be taken to control the disease as soon as possible.

A woman has a lump on the inside of her thigh, and it hurts. What is the cause?

1. Bartholin's gland cyst

If the fleshy bumps on the inner thighs of women are relatively close to the labia majora, it may be a Bartholin's gland cyst. The Bartholin's gland is a gland duct that grows at the vulva. Its function is to secrete lubricant normally, but sometimes the gland opening may be blocked due to factors such as inflammation or scarring. Once the pit is blocked, the secretions in it cannot flow out completely, and the more they accumulate in the Bartholin's gland, the more likely they are to become infected, leading to cysts in the area. In the early stage of the disease, the patient will feel that it is a lump of flesh, which is very hard to the touch. After it becomes pus, a fluctuating feeling will appear. Generally speaking, if the Bartholin's gland cyst does not change for a long time and there is no pain, no treatment is required. However, when painful symptoms occur and gradually expand, antibiotics should be used in time for treatment, and Bartholin's gland stoma surgery or drainage treatment should be performed when necessary.

2. Sebaceous cyst

Sebaceous cysts are a type of skin problem that can appear anywhere on the skin, also known as sebaceous cysts. It is mainly caused by excessive sebaceous gland metabolism and obstruction of metabolic ducts. Young people are most likely to develop sebaceous cysts. Women may also suddenly develop sebaceous cysts on the inner thighs, but generally speaking, sebaceous cysts grow slowly and do not cause symptoms such as pain. However, some patients may have complications such as infection, which may cause the sebaceous cysts to become red and painful. When this symptom occurs, it is best to first control the inflammation with medication. Then surgical treatment is used to remove the contents of the sebaceous gland cyst and its cyst wall in detail. It should be noted that some people will have sebaceous cysts all over the body, and they should undergo regular endocrine and metabolic function tests. Secondly, sebaceous cysts are easily confused with skin diseases such as dermoid cysts and epidermoid cysts, so attention should be paid to a good diagnosis before treatment.

3. Lymph node enlargement

The bumps on the inner thighs may also be swollen lymph nodes, which is called inguinal lymphadenopathy in clinical medicine. Generally speaking, local inflammation is the main factor causing lymph node enlargement. For example, when a woman suffers from pelvic inflammatory disease or endometritis, some lymph nodes may be affected, resulting in swelling, pain and other symptoms. If local lymph node swelling is caused by inflammation, it is sufficient to actively treat the original disease. Once the inflammation subsides, the lymph nodes will gradually disappear.
