The vagina is the female reproductive organ, and women always attach great importance to the protection of the vagina. But sometimes we will find a hard lump next to the vaginal opening. There is a hard lump but no other feeling. When encountering this situation, female friends will be eager to know the cause and solution of the hard lump at the vaginal opening. The things here may be effective for you.

What causes red bumps on female genitals?

1. Pseudo-condyloma

This symptom is caused by general vaginal inflammation and excessive leucorrhea, and is called pseudo-condyloma. Pseudo-condyloma is a type of disease that presents as velvety or caviar-like protrusions on the inner side of the labia minora. These may be pink or slightly transparent and are of relatively uniform size. There are no subjective symptoms and no treatment is required.

2. Genital warts

There are other possibilities for small bumps on the vulva: one is genital warts caused by human papillomavirus infection. This disease is mainly caused by unclean sexual life and is a sexually transmitted disease. Currently in the clinical practice of the Department of Urology and Venereology, it is found that the symptoms of pimples on the female vulva are basically caused by infection with genital warts. Therefore, when women find pimples on their vulva, they should pay attention to it and seek timely diagnosis and treatment.

3. Vestibular gland cyst

Small bumps on the vulva may be Bartholin's gland cysts. The exit of the Bartholin's gland is located on the inner side of the labia minora, and bacteria can easily invade and cause inflammation. Generally, bacteria first invade the epithelium of the Bartholin's gland ducts, causing the mucosa to swell, or adhesions to form after the tissue at the opening of the duct is destroyed, causing the opening of the duct to be blocked, and the secretions cannot be discharged, thus forming a Bartholin's gland cyst. It is often unilateral and of varying sizes.

2 What should I do if there is a hard lump in my private part?

It may be a Bartholin gland cyst. The Bartholin gland is a gland responsible for secreting mucus to lubricate the vagina. It has its own opening, but if it becomes inflamed or blocked by dirt and the mucus cannot be discharged, it will swell and form a Bartholin gland cyst. If it swells too much, it will rupture on its own and heal after the pus flows out. However, the ruptured wound will close, so it will swell again and recur. It is recommended to go to the hospital's gynecology department for a pathological examination to confirm whether it is a Bartholin gland cyst.

Because Bartholin gland cysts can exist for a long time and remain unchanged for many years, if they do not interfere with daily life, they can be observed regularly without treatment. If the cyst gradually increases, or is repeatedly infected and often forms abscesses, Bartholin gland cyst ostomy can be performed, which not only preserves the gland function, but also has smooth drainage and prevents recurrence. After the treatment of Bartholin gland cysts, the vulva should be kept clean and hygienic, and synthetic underwear should not be worn. Underwear should be changed and washed frequently to avoid contamination by vaginal secretions, urine, and feces.

The above is what I introduced to you today about the situation of a hard lump growing on the private parts. I believe it can help friends who have related troubles. In fact, what we encounter in life is to pay attention to body hygiene, keep private parts clean, and control and make choices in diet. If the problem is not alleviated, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a detailed examination as soon as possible to avoid delaying the condition.

3 Vulvar itching that women cannot ignore

1. Sexual allergy: This is an allergic reaction that occurs during sexual intercourse. There are people who are allergic to semen, condoms, and friction.

2. Vaginal trichomoniasis: Itching of the vulva and vagina, foamy leucorrhea, often accompanied by a special odor, and eczematous changes in the vulva after scratching. A vaginal smear test can be used to distinguish it from the above conditions.

3. Fungal vaginitis: itching of the vulva and vagina, flushing of the vulva, dregs-like leucorrhea with odor. Scratching may cause eczematous changes of the vulva dermatitis.

4. Scabies infection: When scabies occurs, the external skin lesions are the most serious, so local itching is also the most obvious.
