What should be done about tumors of the external vagina?

Patient's question:

37-year-old female, married for 5 years without children, has a habit of irregular health check-ups, and considering her age and still not pregnant, she takes her annual gynecological examinations very seriously. This year's gynecological examination revealed an external vaginal tumor. I had never heard of such a tumor before. What should I do about the external vaginal tumor? Could it be malignant? What serious consequences would occur if it is not treated?

Doctor's answer:

In your case. It is recommended that you go to the hospital and have a doctor examine the size and nature of the tumor. If necessary, surgery may need to be performed to remove it. Generally, a lump in the vulva is often due to a Bartholin's gland cyst. If drainage is needed, it should be done. If a definitive diagnosis is made, after surgical removal, there should be no significant interference. I hope my explanation helps you. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery, a healthy body, and a wonderful life.
