Suggest Treatment For A Lump Near The Vaginal Fold
I have a lump where my vagina fold would normally be flat, on the bottom left side next to my vaginal entrance. It s slightly sore and tender as well as swollen. I do not feel any other symptom other than that. No discovery while peri get or standing. This is occurring after the last time I had sex (which was the first time), but it was unprotected. I am not sure of my partner s sexual history. Could it be and STI, STD, HIV, HPV, etc.?

Hello,
These are Vulvar cysts The size of cysts varies, but most feel like small, hard lumps.
Cysts aren't usually painful unless they become infected. Cysts normally go away without treatment.
If a cyst becomes infected, your doctor can drain it and may prescribe antibiotics if there are signs of infection.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
