Question 1

my husband sucked on my labia minora during oral and now it is huge and a little sore and hard and swollen. why did this happen ? what to do?

Accepted Answer

Probably : Minor trauma.   Take some Motrin few times a day.  Swelling should go down a day or two.   See your doctor if symptoms worsen.  Or last longer than a week

Question 2

large, hard, swollen, and sore lump/bump on labia majora, won't pop. any advice?

See details: It could be a cyst or abscess. Have it examined by your gyn doctor or a family doctor.

Question 3

i have a bump like a hard small ball form on my inner labia. it has now formed a white head like a pimple. it is sore to the touch but wasn't at first?

Accepted Answer

Bartholin cyst: It could be a Bartholin cyst or more likely an abscess. You need to see your doctor as it might need to be drained and you may need antibiotics

Question 4

one side labia minora has hard pea sized lump with dark spot on it.  like an open sore.  now it hurts. doesn't look like a cyst. never had std. thanks?

Accepted Answer

Bartholin's Cyst: What you are describing sounds like a infected  Bartholin's cyst, although other things like herpes cannot completely be excluded without a physical exam. You should seek medical treatment at this time as you may need antibiotics or have it surgically removed.

Question 5

i've had a yeast infection on and off. small nodules beneath skin turned into hard very tender large knot on both labia. very tender inner folds.   ?

Accepted Answer

See GYN: This needs to be examined to be diagnosed correctly. Hope this works out OK.

Question 6

what can cause the labia minora to become very dry and sore? what can you use to help it?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Your young to get atrophic vaginitis, which is often caused by a lack of or deficiency in hormones that aide in vaginal lubrication/moisture.  Certain infections may cause dryness and irritation, so best to get evaluated and see what the best tx would be.  In the mean time, use basic lubricants (medicated vaseline.Ky jelly, etc.) during any intercourse to avoid pain and irritation.  Best wishes.

Question 7

i have a white spot on the inside of my labia  , it is not sore but has been there for a very long time , what could it be ?

Accepted Answer

Sebaceous cyst: Most white spots on the labia are sebaceous cysts. These are benign collections of material derived from the skin overlying the labia. If it gets larger or hurts then it needs to be evauated. It most likely will not cause you any problems.  However, in postmenopausal women white plaque should be evaluated as they could be precancerous changes.

Question 8

pls i've had a reddish, swollen sore on my labia. why and what should i do ?

Accepted Answer

May be Herpes: You have not mentioned if this sore goes away and comes back or is it   for how long, neither you have mentioned if it is painful,l or painless. Therefore due to lack of all tat information I will guess that you may have Herpes Progenitalis or syphlis or some other form of STD ( sexually transmitted disease) . Please a doctor as soon as you can

Question 9

i have a reddish pimple-like sore on my labia majora.   i was wondering what it is?

Accepted Answer

Likely a cyst : It is possible that you have a small sebaceous cyst. These usually are asymptomatic unless they become infected or become really large. Also bartholin's cyst can occur near the entrance of the vagina. Cysts usually occur from blocked ducts causing secretions to build up. Best thing to do is to see your doctor if it does not improve or resolve in 2 weeks.

Question 10

why is one side of my labia swollen and sore?

Accepted Answer

Infection: The most common issue is an infection, most likely a hair follicle or gland.  A Bartholin gland infection can also cause labial swelling.  I recommend getting checked as early antibiotics may knock things out quickly
