Suggest Treatment For Severe Swelling In The Vagina
My left inner vaginal lip has been swollen for a couple of months now. It s not painful and it doesn t itch so it s been a low priority of mine, but it is swollen to the point that it peeks out from the outer vaginal lip. I am wondering how serious an issue and if there is a way to reduce the swelling.

Hi,
The swelling you noticed is likely to be a cyst, called Bartholin's cyst. The cyst is benign and requires removal only if it is too large or gets infected. Please be advised to follow up with your ObGyn. A simple vaginal examination can confirm the diagnosis.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
