Sore Red Lump On Inner Labia That Oozes Pus And Lots Of Blood

Yesterday i found a sore red lump on my inner labia, i had a hot bath and squeezed it, a little puss came out with lots of blood but it has completely gone down now. Today i started to get sore throat and have white spots on tonsils! I had unprotected sex 2weeks ago and now im worrying i may have std! :(

Hallow Dear,

You seem to have developed an abscess inside your labia majora. This is Bartholin's abscess. This is mostly due to sexually transmitted infections like Gonorrhoea and/or Chlamydia. During menstruation this abscess bursts and gets drained out only to refill again by pus during the cycle. It is likely that your infection has spread to your throat and tonsils.

This abscess needs surgical opening with eversion of the edges (marsupialization) to prevent trapping of the infection inside. Please report to your Gynaecologist ASAP. In addition you will need suitable antibiotics course to cure the infection. This antibiotics treatment may temporarily subside the throat and tonsils infection. I would advise you to defer the tonsils surgery till you are cured of Bartholin's abscess.

Your boyfriend needs treatment for STI. Please observe complete sexual abstinence till your abscess is healed completely and also till your boyfriend also has been declared cured of this infection.

I hope you got the message.
