Suggest Treatment For Lump On Clitoris

There is a lump on my clitorious and it has been there for a very long time. It doesn't itch or is uncomfortable, but it just bothers me everytime I am cleaning my vagina. And I have been told that I smell like vagina, therefore I believe the lump may be a cause of me smelling fishy. And I am not sexually active. What is it? What can I do to treat it?

Hello dear
Understand your concern.
Exact diagnosis made by examination.
Tell me whether is it hard/soft?
Is it compressible?
Is small spot white in color present on the top of cyst?
Is associated with foul vaginal smell/itching/painful urination/Redness?

It may be bacterial vaginosis due to fishy smells

Following are the other cause of lump in vagina:
1. Blocked hair follicle, skene's duct cyst
2. Blocked sweat gland
3. Fordyce cyst
4. Molluscum contagium
5. Bartholin cyst: rare
6. STDs

All this cyst are pain less and harmless generally.
Do not pop up , it causes infection and bleeding
But if it is very large and associated with pain, dysuria, fever, itching , redness and foul smelling vaginal discharge.
Then
You should think about STDs and would like to test for STDs and
And consult to doctor for drainage and take antibiotics.
Also maintain hygiene after sex and urination and keep the area dry.
Wash vagina with warm salted water 3-4 times a day.
Apply bacitracin/neomycin lotion.
Wear loose pure cotton inner wear
Change inner wear after work out and sweating.

Hope this may help you
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
