Patient's question:
I've been feeling itchy and painful in my external genital area these past few days. I looked and noticed that one side of my external genital area is swollen, and there's aching pain on the right side of my genital area. What could be the cause?Doctor's answer:
Based on your description, the analysis suggests that the right vulvar pain may be a manifestation of gynecological vaginal inflammation. You can clean the vulva with clean water every night and apply some erythromycin ointment locally for anti-inflammatory treatment. If the symptoms do not improve, you will need to go to the hospital for a gynecological examination to rule out the possibility of Bartholin's gland cyst. If it is a Bartholin's gland cyst, surgery will be required. Go directly to the neurosurgery department of a local regular public hospital for consultation, and wait for the examination results to receive symptomatic treatment.
