What should I do if I have a large and painful bump on my vulva?

If the abscess is located in the middle and posterior part of the labia majora, it is mostly a case of vestibular gland abscess. Women can first be given a fumigation with potassium permanganate solution at a ratio of 1:5000 for 10-15 minutes each time to reduce inflammation, and oral anti-inflammatory medication is also required. After treatment, if the local pain is relieved and the mass is still large, vestibular gland abscess stoma should be treated, after which oil sand drainage or saline gauze strips should be given to drain the abscess to promote local inflammation. The occurrence of vestibular gland abscess is mainly due to the blockage of the vestibular gland orifice resulting in the failure to excrete the secretions in the gland in a timely manner, which results in an enlarged and infected gland. In addition, large pouches in the vulva may also be caused by the onset of folliculitis, which is usually treated with gynecological lotion, local application of erythromycin ointment and, if necessary, puncture and drainage. Women should also pay attention to keeping their vulva clean and hygienic in general.
