Question 5

i have a growth on my labia majora that has increased in size over the last 6 months. it is not painful, doesn't itch, but is getting bigger.

Accepted Answer

Get checked: This needs to be evaluated by an OB/GYN ASAP.  The differential diagnosis (e.g. possibilities) is vast.  Anything ranging from benign changes (e.g. cysts, infectious lesions) to neoplasm (e.g. pre-cancerous or cancerous changes) is possible.

Question 6

lumps under my skin around the labia majora, u can't see them but can feel them, becoming more painful? could this be serious? should i be seen?

Accepted Answer

Lumps/labia Majora: There are two openings (one each side) around your vagina called bartholin's glands and two around your pee hole called skene's glands. All these can get blocked and cause cysts. These can normally be felt through your labia majora. It certainly sounds like this can be what you are having. A doctor can treat it.

Question 7

itching on inner part of the labia majora could be a symptom of bv?

Accepted Answer

BACTERIAL VAGINOSIS: Itching can be a symptom of bacterial vaginosis. If you aren't sure what you have get medically checked.

Question 8

i have a tender/painful lump on my right labia majora i noticed while showering that wasn't there previously?

Accepted Answer

Bartholin gland: It could be an inflammation of the Bartholin gland. If you are sexually active, then it is more likely. If the lesion does not subside in a day or so, it would be prudent to see your doctor. If you get fever, purulent discharge or bleeding from the lesion, you may wish to go to a hospital emergency room for treatment.
For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex. 
Get HPV vaccine.

Needs examination: Swollen areas, Lumps, bumps, blisters and other skin abnormalities on the genitals need to be evaluated. An examination will be needed to know the cause and treatment. It sounds like you may be describing an inguinal lymph node but without an exam one could not be certain.
