What is the reason for a lump on the external genitalia?

Patient's question:

Two days ago, I caught a cold and developed a lump on the external genitalia that looked like a knot.

Doctor's answer:

After taking birth control pills, you may experience nausea, which could be a side effect of the medication. As the saying goes, "all medicines have side effects." If it improves quickly, there's no need to worry. If the condition persists, it's recommended to visit the hospital for follow-up promptly. Emergency contraception contains high doses of progesterone, which has significant side effects and may lead to spotting, menstrual disorders, and other issues. Additionally, it is not effective for breastfeeding and is not recommended as a regular form of contraception.
