"What should I do if I have a large bump on my external genitals?"
If there is a large bump on the vulva, it is necessary to administer anti-inflammatory treatment promptly. Topical medication such as Mupirocin ointment can be used to reduce inflammation. If the inflammation is severe, anti-inflammatory injections can also be administered at the hospital to achieve a rapid anti-inflammatory effect. In case of severe cysts and ineffective anti-inflammatory treatment, surgery may be required to open the cyst and drain it.
1. Application of Mupirocin Ointment. The development of bumps on the female vulva is often attributed to poor hygiene of the vulva area, leading to the accumulation of secretions over time, causing irritation and triggering conditions such as folliculitis and vulvitis. For bumps caused by folliculitis or vulvitis, Mupirocin ointment can be applied locally to achieve anti-inflammatory effects.
2. Anti-inflammatory Injections. Anti-inflammatory injections can also be administered to achieve rapid anti-inflammatory effects. Conditions such as abscesses on the vulva, vaginal wall cysts, and even Bartholin's gland cysts may also manifest as bumps on the vulva.
3. Surgical Drainage. If the condition is severe, surgical drainage may be required. This is a minor surgery, and one should remain calm. Postoperatively, it is essential to continue using medication for anti-inflammatory purposes.
It is recommended that women maintain good hygiene of the vagina in daily life, regularly cleanse, change underwear frequently, and expose washed underwear to sunlight for sterilization and disinfection.
