What causes painful and swollen labia minora?
Patient: Hi I am a 29yrs old female, I have a 4 months old baby. No relavant medical history. Present complain: I have noticed yesterday a marble sized swallow on my right labia minor ( on the inside) red, quite painfull and seems to increase in size. What to you advise me to do about it! Thank you Doctor: Hello,I read carefully your query and understand your concern. Your symptoms seem to be related to Bartholini cyst.I suggest soaking in a few inches of warm water either in a tub or sitz bath, four times a day for a few days may resolve even an infected Bartholin cyst.Taking over-the-counter painkillers such as Tylenol may help with discomfort.If the symptoms continue, I suggest to take a cycle of antibiotics. Hope my answer was helpful.If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.Kind regards! Dr.Dorina Gurabardhi General &Family Physician
