What Causes Swollen Labia Majora During Pregnancy?

I m 12weeks pregnant with my second child. I had swelling on my vaginal left lip the first time I was pregnant how ever it poped on its own within a week of having it. It has returned with my second pregnancy I ve seen my doctor he put me on Antibiotics. He said it will clear up but for the past week it has been leaking browny smelly gunk. I rang my doctor explained and he said its fine. What should i do?

Hi there, thanks for the query. It looks like you have an infected cystic swelling there. Most probably a bartholin cyst. But its very difficult to pinpoint diagnosis without clinic assessment. If you have taken antibiotics for over three days and you don't see improvement and if you have pain or tender private parts, do see your doctor again. Probably he will take the leaky material you said for culture and change antibiotics.
But if you notice a decrease in discharge over few days and its not interfering in your daily activities, you can wait for it to resolve.
If it happens to be a bartholin cyst, you may require a small procedure to remove it to avoid recurrence.
Hope you find this information helpful. Take care.

Hello dear
Understand your concern
I think it is vaginal infection/vulvovaginitis.
causes may be:
1. Vaginal Yeast Infection
2. Vulvovaginitis
3. Trichomonas Infection
4. Urethritis
5. Generalized Anxiety Disorder
6. Contact dermatitis
7. Vaginal cyst: skene's duct cyst, Blocked hair follicle, Blocked sweat gland, Fordyce cyst,Molluscum contagium.


Advice are as follow
1. Wash your vagina with this water twice a day for two to three days with warm water and warm pad application
2. Apply Apple cider vinegar
3. Wash your vagina with concentrated salt water whenever you feel the itch. This will give you great relief instantly and prevent further multiplication of bacteria.
4. Antibacterial/fungal talcs: apply candid powder
5. Keeping The Vagina Dry (Not wet, clean well)
6. Wear Loose Clothing
7. Also take antibiotic
You should use following single dose treatment:
Tablet azithromycin plus flucanazole

If not resolves
Consult the gynecologist and undergo test like
Pelvic examination
PCR, NAAT, and ELISA for infection
Cell culture of discharge

Hope this may help you
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
