Brief Answer:
Examination required
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for your query.
I have read you query and I understand your concerns.
Following is my reply:
1) Swelling you are describing is likely to be an urethrocele ( arising from urethra)
2) It is also likely to be Bartholin's gland enlargement.
3) These can be differentiated only after examination by a gynecologist. I suggest you see your gynecologist for examination. Both of these are treateable with minor procedure. Dont worry.
I hope I answered you query and addressed your concerns.
Let me know if you wish to ask any further questions. I will be glad to help you.
