What are the granules near the vagina?
Granules near the vagina may be caused by vulvitis, vaginitis, or sexually transmitted diseases such as condyloma acuminatum. It is necessary to promptly go to the hospital for examination and treatment. If it is caused by vulvitis or vaginitis, a combination of external and internal medications is generally required, and the effect can be seen quickly after medication. However, if it is caused by condyloma acuminatum, the treatment can be more difficult and will take a longer time.
Granules near the vagina may be caused by irritating manifestations of vulvar inflammation or vaginal inflammation. Additionally, sexually transmitted diseases like condyloma acuminatum require HPV testing for exclusion.
If HPV infection is excluded, treatment can be based on the specific pathogen infection according to routine vaginal swab testing. The external genitalia should be cleaned, and anti-inflammatory ointment should be applied to the affected area. The effect can be seen quickly after medication, and the lesion will be eliminated. If the sexually transmitted disease is condyloma acuminatum, which has a long duration and slow treatment, physical therapy may be required. After physical therapy, interferon should be injected locally into the periphery. The recurrence rate of this disease is high, so sexual partners need to check themselves for HPV infection and treat it simultaneously if necessary.
It is recommended to consult a doctor and undergo clinical examination to determine the exact cause of the granules near the vagina and obtain a proper diagnosis for treatment. During treatment, it is important to maintain cleanliness and hygiene of the external genitalia, avoid using soap to clean the area, refrain from scratching or rubbing the affected area, avoid spicy foods, and manage emotional changes.
