Swollen And Sore Vagina After Periods With White Spots And Lump On Labia Majora

Hi , i am a female ages 20. I am having some problems with my , eh, lady parts. JUst after my period finished i notied i was kind of swollen and sore. I initially put that down to using tampons that wer a higher absorbancy than I needed. But to weeks on and the problem is worse. the swelling hasent gone down, suffering alot of discomfort during sexual intercorse, urinating is very sore and ive noticed to small white spots on my vagina aswell as a lump about the size of a pea on my labium majora. around my clitoris and the outside of my vagina is also very sore sometimes. the severity of the pain comes and goes.

WHAT YOU SEEM TO BE DESCRIBING IS SYMPTOMS OF BARTHOLIN GLAND INFECTION LEADING TO AN ABSCESS FORMATION. BARTHOLIN GLANDS ARE LOCATED IN LABIAL FOLDS AND SECRETE A LUBRICATING FLUID . HOWEVER IF THEIR OPENING GETS BLOCKED THEN LOCAL INFECTION, SWELLING AND PAIN AND POSSIBLY URINARY TRACT INFECTION WITH FEVER SETS IN. YOU NEED TO CONSULT A GYNAECOLOGIST WHO WILL DIAGNOSE IT AND IF NEED SURGICALLY DRAIN IT.
