What Causes Lump On Right Labia With Bloody Discharge?
I recently had a pap smear done and it came back with ASCUS. Since then, I now have a painful pea sized lump that moves with the skin on my right labia. I have alot of clear, sometimes bloody discharge and foul odor. I was also diagnosed with bacterial vaginosis which I took medication for and still have the symptoms. Could you tell me if the ASCUS and the bacterial infection have anything to so with the lump?

Hello and welcome to HCM,
A lump on right labia could be due to lymph node enlargement or inflamed Bartholin's gland.
A history of bacterial vaginosis can be the cause of lymph node enlargement.
The presence of ASCUS on Pap smear suggests presence of atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance.
A repeat Pap smear or cervical biopsy may be required to rule out invasive malignancy.
However, before repeating the pap test treatment for bacterial vaginosis needs to be done because atypical changes in squamous cells may be seen in case of infection.
The presence of lump on labia is not related to ASCUS.
Thanks and take care
