Patient's question:
Female, 25, there's a bean-sized lump at the vaginal opening, it's not red, feels hard when pressed and a bit painful, but there's no sensation when touched. What's wrong?Doctor's answer:
The diagnosis is a labial cyst. If it is confirmed to be a cyst of the minor labia and there is no infection or pus formation, surgical treatment can be performed, or the cyst fluid can be aspirated and 95% ethanol can be injected to destroy the cyst wall to prevent recurrence. Surgical treatment is more thorough but costs more, and it is estimated that hospitalization for several days will be required. Aspiration of the cyst fluid can be done on an outpatient basis, and the cost will naturally be slightly lower. Additionally, you can try using the following Chinese herbal steam bath for a period of time to see if it can naturally absorb and subside. Avoid excessive washing, wear breathable cotton pants, eat less irritating foods, and do not overuse antibiotics.
