Picture of vaginal opening with granulation

The growth of granulation tissue at the vaginal opening may be due to infectious factors, such as infection with pathogens or viruses. It is also possible that it may be due to urethral caruncle.

1. Pathogen infection factors: The growth of granulation tissue at the vaginal opening may be caused by mycoplasma or chlamydia infection due to long-term exposure to a humid environment, or it may be caused by bacterial or fungal infection. It will cause local mucosal damage. If the situation is serious, it may cause local herpes or granulation growth. It is necessary to apply antibiotic ointment in time to promote the absorption of inflammation and reduce the damage caused.

2. Viral infection: The growth of granulation tissue at the vaginal opening may also be caused by human papillomavirus infection, which usually causes the growth of local flat warts. Timely antiviral and immune-enhancing drug treatment is needed, and laser treatment is required if necessary. Keep the local area clean and hygienic, and do a good job in preventing cross infection.

3. Urethral caruncle: Urethral caruncle may be caused by the decrease of estrogen in the body as the human body ages, which can easily cause accumulation of vaginal mucosa, thereby causing the growth of granulation tissue. It can be treated by supplementing estrogen drugs, and surgical resection can be performed if necessary.
