Accepted Answer

It can.: If this is your primary outbreak of herpes, it could cause a significant amount of tenderness and swelling.  Please see your dermatologist for correct diagnosis and management.

Question 5

do i put heat or ice on swollen labia majora?

Accepted Answer

Depends on what it: Is from. You may need to see a doctor unless you had mild trauma to it causing swelling. Ice would be recommended as heat could actually initially draw more swelling to a highly vascularized area. Hope that helps!

Question 6

i have a very painful and swollen labia majora. what could this be?

Accepted Answer

Bartholin gland: It is either a Bartholin gland cyst or infection. See a GYN MD before it becomes painful for analysis and possible drainage.

Question 7

on my right labia majora, its tender and swollen, should i be concerned, it's  a pretty decent size swollen area ?

Accepted Answer

See gyn: If if's more than a inflamed hair follicle, then see gyn for evaluation and treatment.  Many possibilities.

Question 8

i found a lump near my labia majora about the size of a pea. it doesn't hurt if i press it and immobile. should i be worried?

Accepted Answer

Cyst: Most likely what you have is bartholine gland cyst. It's a benign condition but occasionally it may get infected. In that case, you will need to be treated with antibiotics and drainage is often done as well. Although, i don't think what you describe is bad, but i would still advise that you have it checked by your doc.

Question 9

my daughter is 10 and she is complaining that her left labia majora is swollen, hard and itchy. what can cause this? what should i do?

Accepted Answer

See doctor: Take her to your gynecologist for an examination and treatment.

Question 10

large hard moveable lumps inside labia majora (both sides), first noticed 3 years ago but could have been there longer. not painful. cancer or normal?

Accepted Answer

Not cancer: What you described are likely to be Bartholin cysts. These are harmless, unless there is infection. It would be prudent to consult your gynecologist and consider getting these treated before infection makes it a complicated issue.
