There is a small itchy ball at the vaginal opening

The most common cause of a small lump growing at the vulva is a cyst of the Bartholin's gland. Due to inflammation of the vulva or vaginal opening, the opening of the Bartholin's glands is blocked, so that the mucus in it cannot be discharged, and small cysts will form over time.

This type of cyst often has no symptoms in clinical practice, except that a bulge may be felt when the cyst is touched accidentally. In this case, it is recommended to keep the area clean. If infection occurs, severe pain will occur, and some people will have suppuration. Once suppuration occurs, the cyst needs to be cut open and drained to achieve the goal of clinical recovery. In addition, if you have small meat balls, you should also remove private genital warts.

The Bartholin's glands are the two glandular ducts on the female vulva, which are the two glandular ducts on the vulva below the labia majora. They exist on both sides. Generally, it is one gland. If the opening is not blocked, it has no problem. If the gland is blocked, it will form a cyst, which we call a Bartholin's gland cyst. If it is combined with an infection, it is called a Bartholin's gland cyst. Some people have ruptured, in other words, we need to perform a stoma.

However, if some people have a cyst and there is no special abnormal feeling, if there is just a lump there, it can also be observed. If a cyst occurs, we need treatment. For example, if you need anti-infective treatment, in other words, surgery and a stoma, this type of stoma is also more prone to recurrence. After some artificial stomas are created, the small opening will close again, and then cysts or cysts will appear. In this case, we usually advise her to keep the private parts clean and dry, but this cannot prevent the occurrence of this recurrence.
