What should I do if the vaginal opening is swollen and the discharge is yellow?

Patient's question:

A lump has swelled at the vaginal opening, it's quite hard, and it hurts when walking. The discharge is yellow. Before my period, the discharge was yellow and increased in amount. Now that my period has ended, the discharge is still abundant and yellow. What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

This condition is caused by abscesses resulting from infections contracted due to poor hygiene. It is recommended that you use potassium permanganate for sitz baths for treatment. If the effect is not good, you need to go to the hospital for incisional treatment. For gynecological patients, in addition to symptomatic treatment, it is also necessary to pay attention to self-care. The recurrence of yellow leukorrhea severely harms women's health. Patients need to pay attention to maintaining external genital hygiene in daily life and avoid sexual activity.
