A member asked:

Hello. i have noticed a lump on my left side of my labia majora/lip the size of a marble and i can move it around that area. it hurts when touched?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Lump in left labium: The most common cause of such a lump is retention of secretion in a gland called Bartholin's gland. This gland participates in lubrication of the vagina There is one in each lip. When the neck of the gland is blocked the secretion causes it to swell up and form a cyst. It is usually painless. If it gets infected it becomes a painful abcess which will then need to be drained. Try taking sitz baths.
