What is the cause of granules on the vulva?

The female genitals are a relatively sensitive and fragile area. Many women often experience symptoms of genital infections, which have a certain impact on their lives. Married women in particular attach great importance to the health of their genitals, but it is also very easy to ignore them. There are many symptoms of genital diseases, and the phenomenon of granules on the vulva is relatively common. So, what is the cause of granules on the vulva?

What should I do if I have small bumps on my vulva? If it is caused by pseudo-condyloma.

Pseudo-condylomata refers to the presence of pink papules on the inner side of the female labia minora, which are the size of millet grains, multiple, clustered, granular, fused into pieces, and symmetrically distributed on the left and right. Another type appears as villous protrusions, like the fluff on a carpet, so it is also called hairy labia minora. This disease is not a sexually transmitted disease.

Pseudocondyloma is a developmentally related benign papilloma that may be associated with fungal infection or glandular hyperplasia due to chronic nonspecific irritation or friction of the vulva. It is more common in young and middle-aged women aged 18 to 40, with an incidence rate of about 16% to 18%. It can occur in both unmarried and married people and does not affect health. The development of papules is self-limited and the course of the disease is usually more than half a year. Therefore, this disease generally does not require treatment. For some patients, the papules may gradually disappear automatically due to changes in hormones in the body or after the fungi and other inducements are removed. Therefore, patients should not worry about pseudo-condyloma acuminatum. Those with symptoms should go to a regular hospital to see a specialist for diagnosis and treatment.

From the above explanation, the phenomenon of granules growing on the vulva is likely a symptom of pseudo-condyloma acuminatum. The symptoms of this disease are relatively mild compared to general sexually transmitted diseases, but the destructiveness of pseudo-condyloma acuminatum to the body cannot be ignored. Therefore, women should strengthen the hygiene management of their genitals in their lives.
