How long does it take for external genitalia swelling to subside?
There is no specific time frame for the swelling of the external genitalia to subside, and it usually takes about a week for the swelling to subside. If the patient's swelling persists for a long time, it is essential to consult a doctor promptly for a check-up and follow the doctor's instructions for specific medication treatment to recover health as soon as possible. In daily life, special attention should be paid to cleanliness and hygiene of the external genitalia, and maintaining the dryness of the genital area to prevent local infection.
Common methods for reducing swelling are: external medication, hot compress treatment, and surgical treatment.
If the patient experiences swelling and pain, medication treatment should be chosen. Drugs such as Metronidazole Suppositories or Clotrimazole Suppositories can be selected to alleviate the condition, which have good therapeutic effects on local pain and swelling caused by vulvitis.

In addition to suppository treatment, external ointments such as Fluocinolone Acetonide Ointment can also alleviate the condition and have a certain auxiliary therapeutic effect on the disease.
Hot compress treatment can alleviate the patient's pain and swelling sensation. Hot compresses can quickly reduce swelling. Local hot compresses can relieve vulvar pain and swelling sensation. If local swelling symptoms occur, hot water bottles or heat patches can be used for hot compress treatment to improve the condition, which has the effect of relaxing muscles and promoting blood circulation, and has a good therapeutic effect on vulvar diseases. During the hot compress treatment, attention should be paid to adjusting the temperature to avoid burning the skin.
If the patient's vulvar pain and swelling are severe, surgery may be necessary to alleviate the condition, which has a good therapeutic effect on local abscesses.
