Hi,
A lump on the labia majora can have various causes, and it's important to get it checked out by a healthcare provider to determine the exact cause and appropriate treatment. Some possible causes of a lump on the labia majora include:
- Bartholin's cyst: This is a fluid-filled sac that can develop on either side of the vaginal opening. It can be caused by a blockage of the Bartholin's gland, which produces vaginal lubrication.
- Lipoma: A lipoma is a non-cancerous growth of fatty tissue that can occur anywhere on the body, including the labia majora.
- Abscess: An abscess is a collection of pus that can develop as a result of infection. It can be painful and may require drainage.
- Inclusion cyst: This is a benign cyst that can develop when skin cells become trapped under the surface of the skin.
- Genital warts: These are small, fleshy growths caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV).
- Skin tag: A skin tag is a small, benign growth that can develop on the skin.
While the lump may be related to the use of the implant, it's important to rule out other possible causes. It's also worth noting that irregular bleeding can be a common side effect of the implant.
It's recommended to make an appointment with a healthcare provider, who can perform a physical examination and may recommend further testing or imaging if necessary. They can also provide appropriate treatment, which may include antibiotics or drainage if an infection is present, or removal of the lump if necessary.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
