Patient's question:
One side of the labia majora is swollen, with a hard sensation at the level of the urethral opening. It's different from usual—only painful when touched. The doctor at the hospital said it's inflammation. A vaginal discharge test was done, and the results were normal. But I'm worried about the Bartholin's glands having an issue, which might require surgery. Please reply as soon as possible. Thank you.Doctor's answer:
Hello, your condition may be vulvitis, allergies, or vulvar malnutrition. It is recommended to visit a gynecological hospital for relevant examinations. Based on the examination results, symptomatic treatment should be administered. Before being diagnosed, do not take medication on your own to avoid affecting the examination results. Generally, doctors will advise women with signs of vestibular gland cyst to rest in bed and prohibit sexual activity. Additionally, patients should also pay attention to a comfortable environment, which is beneficial for rest. Wishing the patient a healthy delivery.
