Vulva swelling and pain - what is it??
Posted , 3 users are following.
Hi all,
i am hoping that others out there have had similar symptoms and can help...i am going on nine months now with this.
I have swelling, and clitoris is larger than ususal. i also have a rash which i can semi control with cortisone cream. discharge is unusual and ranges between runny and white and chunky white.
i have a skin mass or lump on the RHS next to vagina opening. i can only see/ feel the lump when i am sitting or standing. it disappears when im lying down.
it hurts to go to the bathroom. and everything swells up more when i go to the bathroom.
does anyone have any of the same symptoms or know what this is??

I would ask to be sent to a dermertoligest that will determine what is the problem I agree with stopping other treatments till you get a proper diagnosis

ive seen three gynaecologists and two dermatologists.. everyone is stumped 😦.
ive been referred to a new gynae next week so fingers crossed!
this is just so tiring 😦. 9 months of consistant inflammation sucks

yes! I had something like this!
Stop the cortizone cream and go to a Dr! Mine was a really bad fungal infection and I created a chemical burn from the chemicals I was putting on it! Cortizone or Lotramin etc made it way worse! Cool bathes 2-3 times a day and if you can lay in bed alot with a fan on it that helps! ice pack 10 min 2-3 times a day and take anti-inflamatory pain meds. The lump is a concern that a Gyno should look at!
Good luck!
