Patient's question:
Duration of illness and persistence: 3 daysCurrent general condition: I suddenly developed a small hard lump on the outer side of my left labia, which appeared exactly on the fourth day of my period. There is no discomfort, but pressing the area with my hand causes a slight pain that has not disappeared yet, and the lump has not grown.
Detailed medical history and consultation purpose: I would like to ask the gynecologist what this problem is, what the cause is, whether it is serious, and how to make the small lump disappear as soon as possible.
Medical history: None
Doctor's answer:
This situation is considered to be related to vulvitis or adnexitis. The cause is related to local humidity, and timely medication treatment is necessary. This condition can also be treated with oral levofloxacin tablets for observation. It is important to avoid sexual intercourse to prevent worsening the condition. If the symptoms do not improve, it is best to seek medical observation. The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects a woman's life but can also lead to the development of gynecological conditions. Therefore, it is advisable to visit the gynecology department of a hospital for an ultrasound examination to identify the cause and receive targeted treatment. Pay attention to dietary adjustments, consuming light and easily digestible foods, and avoid spicy, irritating, and cold foods.
