Patient's question:
I am a 35-year-old woman, and I went through menopause two years ago. However, recently I have been experiencing intense itching in my external genitalia and around the vaginal opening, and the odor of my discharge is also quite strong. Please ask: What should I do if a woman's external genitalia swells?Doctor's answer:
The external genitalia of a woman are swollen, and it is more likely to be the possibility of vulvitis. However, Bartholin's gland cyst can also cause swelling of the external genitalia. It is recommended to undergo routine and thorough gynecological examinations promptly to identify the cause and proceed with further treatment. Then, the patient needs to maintain a balanced diet, follow a regular schedule, and regulate physical and mental health. In daily life, it is important to maintain a positive mood and consume more light, soft, and liquid foods. Drinking plenty of water and eating more vegetables and fruits is also necessary.
