Abscess in labia

Common Questions and Answers about Abscess in labia

abscess

Avatar f tn ve picked up cycling about 40-50 miles per week along with strenuous training and noticed a solo abscess on my labia after a cycle session where I had tight fitting underwear. I popped the abscess and some white fluid came out, and it's still raised but steadily getting smaller with neosporin application. I have never had sex and the last time oral happened was late 2013.
Avatar f tn An abscess is an infection that usually starts by a small cut in the skin that allows bacteria to get in. Either way you should definitely go to the Dr.
Avatar n tn Since change in size and/or pain in a lump is one of the 7 warning signs of cancer, you need to get in to see a doctor as soon as possible and determine which it is. In all likihood it will be a simple cyst and easy and cheap to treat, but you do not want to fool around and wait to find out, because if it is something more, then early detection and treatment is crucial to your long term health. Not trying to scare you here, but just encourage you to do the Safe thing, and get seen.
Avatar f tn Meant to add - mine was in a different spot. Also, if yours grows or gets painful it could be an abscess in which case you'd need the antibiotics asap. But a quick Dr check up never hurts. I would have had my Dr check but she has been away and since I wasn't in pain I wasn't too worried. After a hot shower last night I tried squeezing it again (as I had many times before with no luck) & finally, this time, I managed to drain it of a lot of puss (gross lol).
Avatar f tn Okay i have no insurance and i have this abscess in vagina labia and i need help to really get rid of it at home because its hurts walking and everything.
Avatar f tn Had it lanced and drained/packed and put on antibiotics. Then just recently I have had a abscess develop on my right labia minora, which poped on its own, but not even 5 days later it was back and had to go to theatre for drainage. I have now been informed that during the surgery the doctor picked up on a systolic grade 3 heart murmur. Please has anyone else experienced this it know of anyone who has. I am at the end of my tether, and am so depressed. If anyone can help me please.
Avatar m tn The bad news is my wife just discovered another abscess on her labia. In your opinion, what could the most likely cause be? Thank you for your feedback?
Avatar f tn I take pretty good care of myself and usually have no major issues. However, a few nights ago I noticed a small bump on my labia majora when I went to the bathroom. Besides minor soreness to the touch, I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary, so I assumed it was just an ingrown hair or pimple and vowed to deal with it in the morning. When I woke up it had grown and was more painful. It's been only 3 days since the initial sighting and it has multiplied in size.
Avatar n tn i also believe i may have mild yeast infections. in btwen the labia looks like a white, skim milk like mucous. another symptom i have is severe odour in my urine.
Avatar n tn Oh, and the medical term for lips is labia. Inner labia and outer labia.
Avatar n tn I have an on-and-off pain on my right minora labia. Every once in awhile my right labia becomes extremely sensitive (top of labia, small area, therefore could even possibly be the clitoris) so sensitive that it pains me with any friction or even touch. the area gets rather red too but have not noticed any swelling or anything. I have (normal) discharge, white, odourless.
Avatar f tn Hello, From your symptoms,it looks like a Bartholin's abscess or cyst. There are glands in the vaginal lips called Bartholin’s glands. These can become painful and swollen, and an abscess can form. This often causes blockage in the main duct from the gland, and a cyst develops. This is felt as a painless, hard swelling.In such cases, antibiotics may be helpful, or surgical treatment might be required.
Avatar f tn I shaved about a week ago and a day or so later i noticed a small bum on my right labia majora and thought it was a ingrown hair ....but i could not find it....2 days ago I noticed my right labia majora is now swollen and very painful if i touched it...i tried squeezing it but all i get is clear fluid...there is no head like a pimple or anything.....when you first look at it ..it just looks really swollen ..does anyone have a clueto what it could be and how to get rid of it, i must add...

Avatar m tn Hi everyone, for 5 years I've been haunted by this abscess in my groin/labia. It comes and goes, sometimes it's gigantic (REALLY) and sometimes just a painful, red, inflamed, deep seated "nodule" (so it doesn't disfigure me completely, but still makes it awfully painful to walk). I had the abscess drained at the hospital once (never again, the anestesia hurt like hell and did not numb the area at all... urgh!) and the material (the pus) was sent for culture....

Avatar f tn I have a very large mass on my labia majora pushing up into my mons pubis?! It’s agony and about the size of a walnut. I have pain radiating up over my mons pubis and down into the left part of my throwing... I also have a rare disease called Behcet’s, Behcet’s can cause lesions and sores on your genitals but what ever this ‘walnut’ is isn’t like any lesion I’ve had before. I can’t sit and walking is uncomfortable..
Avatar f tn I also have an abscess on top of a varicous vein just inside my vagina so as you can imagine its quite sore to keep pushing. After all that time i managed to pass 2 tiny pieces. so i cleaned up and stood up to feel like my vagina was inside out... my perineum and labia was really swollen. After 15 mins i managed to have a number 2 and again after another half hour. The swelling has gone down alot but i still feel sore and dread going for a number 2 again....
Avatar m tn ve been in EXCRUCIATING pain for going onto 5 days now. I have what seems to be an abscess near my vagina on the right side, it's roughly the size of a large marble, and looks quite bruised in the center. I read to keep warm compresses on it, and soak in Epsom salt to bring it to a head. I've tried this for 3 days, at least 4 times a day for 20 minutes. I thought I was making progress due to the fact that it drained a good bit earlier and decreased in size.
Avatar m tn I wear tight underpants and i keep wearing same jeans frequently as I am a fat person and it is difficult to get clothes easily for my size. I now have this zit/abscess/boil on my groin area. Not on testicles or on penis but on the side of by thigh and groin joint area. It is painful when touched. And i have thigh pain too. But i started having thigh pain after I masturbated yesterday. For the past few months i have been having trouble with over masturbation.
Avatar n tn For the past couple of months, either the day of my period, day before my period, or during my period, I would have bumps appear in which one would get swollen with blood and bleed (the others will sometimes get filled with blood or stay small). The bumps are on the side of where I had an abscess drained last year. Once my period is over, the bumps go away with no scabbing. They do hurt if I pee too hard.
Avatar f tn Update: It appears to be an abscess, it burst sometime last night and I spent the morning squeezin pus and blood out of it. The area feels 100 times better and although I did make a drs appointment for Monday, I prob won't go. I have experience with abscesses so I plan to use my knowledge to keep it drained and clean. I know most of you will say to still go see a doctor, but I'm extremely poor and was gong to have to borrow money to go Monday.
Avatar m tn For the last 4 months or so Ive had a thickening of the skin over my right axillae. I has a huge abscess in the area which resolved spontaneously after antibiotics. I noticed the irregularity in my skin soon afterwards. The lump hasnt increased in size but it wont go away either. Any thoughts??....thanks.
Avatar f tn Hi angel114, Typically if a abscess forms you take antibiotics,and if it's bad enough they have to also be drained,you can't really "cut out" an abscess,at least not without taking healthy tissue with it. Your grandmother should receive a pelvic exam to determine the cause and extent of the abscess to determine the correct treatment,a small sample may also be taken to rule out cancer beings she is post menopausal.
Avatar m tn An abscess is basically a build up of pus and infection in the jaw bone area. I assume that since you've seen a dentist recently, it probably would've been spotted at your last checkup as they generally develop from large cavities. There are abscess that also develop from gum disease as well but assuming you had a cleaning and check up, thats also a little more unlikely. Best to get it checked out and taken care of.
Avatar f tn More specifically it is called Amoebic Liver Abscess. The abscess, if it is one, is relative small and can be cured by antibiotics. No need to go in for aspiration. It is 100% curable. Also go in for a blood test along with a liver function test to test the levels of the enzymes. But, FIRST consult a good gastroenterologist. I wouldnt worry if I were you.
Avatar n tn painful lumps in the anus/rectum, pain and swelling in the anus or buttocks area, painful bowel movements, fever/ or night sweats, and abdominal pain. Antibiotics treat the infection that has caused the abscess. The specific antibiotic depends on what infectious organism has caused the abscess. Whether the abscess is drained or not, antibiotics are always used to treat the underlying infection. Needle aspiration of the abscess to remove the infectious fluid.
Avatar f tn Go to Walmart and buy a box of Epsom salt (its by the pharmacy). Pour a bunch in a warm tub and sit for twenty minutes or so, probably three or four days in a row.
