What can you do about a painful lump on the vaginal lip?

Answer 1

I am thinking you mean vaginitis - it is related to bacteria. Is your vulva swollen and sore? Is it a bit itchy? Does it hurt to urinate? Most women get this from too much sex (is there such as thing?) or rough sex. You should always pee and wash after sex. Treat it like you would treat thrush - avoid sex, change your underwear frequently and use an anti-fungal cream. You may find that it clears up after your next period.

Answer 2

It depends on the cause; for swelling caused by an allergic reaction to a latex condom - with your doctor's OK take 2 Benedryl antihistamine pills. Then take a cool bath or wash yourself well with a clean, wet wash cloth, then wrap a small baggie with ice cubes, in a clean, small wet towel. Put it right where it aches (externally) for about 20 minutes. If the swelling is no better in 30 minutes use the ice bag wrapped in a fresh, wet towel. If no relief after 2 ice treatments call your doctor or ER again.

Swelling after sex without a latex allergy, use the above suggestions without the Benedryl.

Swelling caused by a known yeast infection, keep your perineum clean from any of the vaginal discharge - the fungus in the overgrowth of Candida, is extremely irritating - use OTC Monistat or other anti-fungal, see your doctor if there is no improvement in 24 hours.

Swelling with a discharge could be a bacterial infection, see your doctor or health clinic ASAP for diagnoses and treatment.

Answer 3

First you need to see a doctor and find out what is causing the swelling.

Answer 4

I'm not a doctor, but I would think that ice or a ice pack would help.

I was told it was from blood making it swell from sexual activities.

Answer 6

Use ice cubes or sit in a tub of icewater. That should do it.

Answer 7

Stop using irritating products such as soaps,baby wipes etc.

Answer 8

Just leave it alone, and it will go away. That's what I did.
