What are the small bumps on the vulva?

The genitals are the most important part for women. It is the reproductive area of ​​the human body and a mysterious place. With the progress of civilization, people are becoming more and more taboo about the genitals. However, this results in people neglecting the health of the genitals, leading to the prevalence of genital diseases. For example, small bumps on the vulva are a common phenomenon. So, what are the small bumps on the vulva? Let’s take a look at the explanation below.

I have a small bump the size of a rice grain on my vulva. It hurts a little now, like a pimple. It's about the size of a mung bean. There are two possibilities:

1. It may be vulvar folliculitis, commonly known as furuncle. It is red, swollen and painful, with local skin temperature rising. It is most painful when it festeres. After the pus flows out, the pain is significantly relieved, and the redness and swelling slowly subside until it heals. It can also be incised and drained under local anesthesia.

2. It may be a cyst: If it is this disease, it can be surgically removed after local anesthesia, and the removed tissue will be sent for pathological examination. These are minor surgeries, so don't worry. You may have difficulty walking in the first one or two days after the operation, but it will not affect you much in the future.

However, if you experience pain and swelling below the vulva, you should consider whether you have a female cyst (inflammation caused by vaginal squeezing during childbirth that blocks the gland duct). If necessary, you are advised to go to the hospital for further examination.

The small bumps on the vulva are actually not a serious disease phenomenon. Their impact on women is much milder than other reproductive diseases. Therefore, people do not need to worry too much about the small bumps on their vulva. Instead, they should actively seek treatment and prevention measures, check the health of the vulva regularly, and keep vulva diseases away from their bodies.
