I have a bump on my vagina lip its red, swollen and painful i tried squeezing it and nothing came out what can it be?

Answer 1

U should be seen: You may have an infected sebaceous gland, or worse: maybe developing a Bartholin abscess. Should be seen!

Answer 2

Depends: It sounds like you may have a plugged Bartholin's cyst. See your doctor.

Answer 3

Yes: Any use of tobacco increases the risk of cancer, at multiple sites in the body.

Answer 4

Maybe: It isn't as great a risk factor as cigarettes but the risk is there. The answer depends on what your definition of high risk is.

Answer 5

Yes: Yes. See oral surgeon or ENT doc if you have any of these symptoms: Persistent mouth sore, persistent mouth pain, a lump or thickening in the cheek, a white/red patch on the gums, tongue, tonsil, or lining of the mouth, a sore throat, hoarseness or feeling that something is caught in the throat that does not go away, difficulty swallowing/chewing.

Answer 6

TMJ disorder: A locked jaw is usually due to a temporomandibular joint that is injured or displaced. This could happen when you are ill from clenching too much, or a wide yawn if you already have aproblem with the joint. Go see an ent. If severe a few days of a steroid will help, then you may need an occlusion splint made by a dentist.

Answer 7

Inflammation: Inflammation of some type. If it doesn't heal, you should visit your doctor.

Answer 8

Mouth guards: Almost every dentist can make you a custom mouth guard. You shouldn't buy a mouth guard that is not made for you specifically or it can cause problems. Just like one size fits all shoes aren't a good idea.

Answer 9

Dentist or pharmacy: You can find a generic type of grinding appliance at most pharmacies. They often need to be adjusted by you at home. The dentist can also make you a custom bite guard. There are a variety of types depending on the dentist's preference based on your problem.

Answer 10

Possibly: It is not a for sure thing that you would have an infection but those symptoms common for an infection that is draining such as an abcess. You may want to have a dentist take a look for you.

Answer 11

Way too many reasons: A bad tasteor smell could mean an infection. But it could also mean that you aren't brushing and flossing enough. Also, the bad taste could be coming from your stomach and the foods you eat. Try a thorough cleaning of your mouth, go to a dentist and make sure all is ok...And try watching what you eat for a few days. Oh yeah and cleaning....Brush your tongue too.
