Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I saw a fleshy growth on my labia majora. I am worried about it. Can you explain to me what is this fleshy growth?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
This appears to be a very small papule or bartholian cyst. It is hard to tell without a direct examination but both of these conditions are not dangerous. Please keep an eye on it, it is supposed to dissolve by itself in the next few weeks. You can use warm compressions if you have pain. No other therapy is required if the size is not increasing or it is not changing color or shape, in this situation you may have to see your Gynecologist. Make sure to get your papsmear.
Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
Thank you for your reply. Does that mean I do not need to see my GP? Also, is it not something near to cancer?
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
It does not seem like it as of now but if it persists after a month then please see your GP to get a referral for Gynecologist.
