Patient's question:
Recently, my labia majora have often felt burning pain, and I feel that even the friction of underwear can cause pain. I haven't had any trauma, and there are no apparent abnormalities upon touching and observation. What possible condition could this be?Duration and onset of this condition: 3 months
Doctor's answer:
A large lump in the labia majora may be a Bartholin's gland cyst. Bartholin's gland cysts are formed due to the obstruction of the Bartholin's gland duct, leading to the accumulation of secretions. Since cysts can be complicated by infection, surgical treatment should be pursued. While undergoing antibiotic treatment, you can also use decoctions of traditional Chinese herbs that clear heat, resolve toxicity, reduce swelling, and dissipate lumps, under the guidance of a doctor, for sitz baths.
