Brief Answer:
Need not to worry.it will resolve itself.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Welcome to HCM,

I can understand your concerns,

It is usually harmless cyst which is linked to glands and settles in few days with out any treatment.

I advise you to sit in warm water which helps in reducing the bumps.

If it persists or becomes painful (due to infection),you should consult your gynecologist and need a course of antibiotics.

Hope this helps,

Feel free to ask further,

Thanks.

when i was washing last night one of them bleed.. they dont hurt but i shave everyday cause hair irritates me.. is shaving bad right now.. ive had these bumps for about 2weeks

Answered by Dr. Nidhi Setia (2 hours later)

Brief Answer:
may be folliculitis.

Detailed Answer:
You are having these bumps for about 2 weeks now and you shave regularly.

I think it may be folliculitis (hair follicle infection).

In such cases, topical antibiotics (like mupirocin) as well as oral antibiotics (like amoxicillin) can help.
For pain relief, tablet ibuprofen will help.

Do not shave for now.
Maintain good hygiene.

However, Confirmation of diagnosis can be done by local physical examination.

So I would advise you to consult your doctor for further treatment.

I wish you well.
Thanks.

Brief Answer:
need some details to guide you further.

Detailed Answer:
Hi again.

Abdominal pain in children without any other symptoms and which is shirt-lasting is not serious.

In many of the cases, the cause is constipation due child's irregular timings of eating.

Is the pain severe?
How long does the pain last?
Are there any other symptoms like fever,, cramping, loose stools?
Is the pain recurrent, occurring frequently at short intervals?

Hope to hear from you soon.
Thanks.

her pains are consistant. she complains of abd pain everyday to the point she goes to bed and sleeps all day. she has regular bowels.. her appitite comes and goes and her energy as well..

Answered by Dr. Nidhi Setia (8 hours later)

Brief Answer:
ultrasound abdomen.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for the details.

I would suggest you to go for an abdominal ultrasound for her (if not already done) to determine the pathology.

Try to find out whether she has issues in school with her peers. Many a times children complain of such vague pains when they wish to receive parental attention for their demands or when they are stressed.

An opinion of a pediatrician and a child psychologist must be taken.

Hope this helps.
Take care.
Thanks.

i have some swelling and thick white discharge. there is some itching. its alot of discharge with a little smell

Answered by Dr. Nidhi Setia (15 hours later)

Brief Answer:
Antifungal tablet and vaginal pessary are advised.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Most probably it is fungal infection.

I advise that you should take tablet fluconazole 150mg (Prescription drug) once weekly for three weeks and vaginal pessary clotrimazole (prescription drug)daily once for six nights.consult your gynecologist about it.

I suggest that you should go for blood sugar level as high sugar level changes vaginal PH and makes fertile environment for fungal infection .

My suggestions are based on history and symptoms.pelvic examination is advised to confirm diagnosis.

Hope this helps,

Feel free to ask further,

Thanks.
