Patient's question:
I noticed a hard lump the size of a green bean on my labia majora while changing my underwear last night. I'm very worried. What could be the cause? Is it due to an internal heat issue? Additional question: I haven't had sexual activity for seven months, and I clean my external genital area with clean water every day. I also change my underwear daily. Should there be nothing serious?Doctor's answer:
Your symptoms are likely to be caused by vulvitis, but it is not ruled out that it could be folliculitis, boils, herpes, etc. It is recommended to go to a regular hospital for relevant examinations to clarify the diagnosis and symptomatic treatment. It is suggested to pay attention to hygiene in the perineal area, use potassium permanganate solution to clean and sit in the perineal area, apply antibiotic ointment or pu gong ying oil after sitting in the bath, and wear cotton underwear.
