This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am having a pea-like lump in my labia it is not visible but it is like a ball and painful. I have started having Ciplox 500 and applying a warm compress. Please help as I am very scared regarding what is it and how will it go away?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Your history suggests a Bartholin abscess or maybe a fungal growth. The growth actually needs to be seen before I can give you any coherent advice. But I definitely suggest personal hygiene, wearing cotton underwear and preferably sun drying your underwear to prevent any infection. Good diet and exercise goes a long way to provide immunity against genital infections too. For relief, I suggest you start a warm sitz bath and avoid intercourse for a few days. Any over the counter painkillers like Paracetamol can be taken if you have no known drug sensitivity. But if still your symptoms do not subside you may have to take antibiotics.

I hope this helps.
