Patient's question:
A small bump has grown at the vaginal opening, and it hurts when touched. Urination also causes pain. What could be the reason, and what should be done?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the symptoms you described may be a Bartholin's gland cyst. The symptoms include a red, swollen, hard lump at the posterior third of the labia majora, pain, burning sensation, significant tenderness upon touch, painful urination, difficulty walking, and sometimes difficulty with urination and defecation.Advice: Treatment includes cyst drainage and cyst excision. Drainage is suitable for larger and recurrent acute cysts; excision is recommended for infected cysts. For larger cysts, CO2 laser treatment is performed at the lowest point. Wishing you good health!
