HELP ME! ENLARGED LABIA MINORA

Posted , 9 users are following.

Im 18 and ive noticed that the one side of my labia is very swelled up. it isnt hard- i dont have an std or anything.

I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT COULD BE? could it be a cyst if it isnt hard?

is it a bartholin cyst or cancer?

the swollen labia feels like thick skin.

    How long is it like this? Does it hurt to touch?

      it doesnt really "hurt" its just uncomfortable. ive noticed it for about a week

      It looks like a Bartholin's cyst which is quite common. If it does not hurt, it means that it is not inflamed. I would seek a doctor if it grows larger and starts to hurt, otherwise it can go away without treatment.

      w/o treatment it will go away in about a week. sit in a Epson salt warm bath and it will alleviate it until you can see your pcp/gp. wear lose fitting underwear to let it breathe and not cause pressure.....good luck

    looks like some kind of hernia , shows up when your bladder is full? see a gyno i dont think it will be a any concern.
