Hi,

According to your history, the possible causes of lump you mentioned could be:
- Bartholin's cyst due to obstruction of Bartholin's duct
- Gartner's duct cyst
- Edema of local tissue due to friction or infection.

Brown discharge with bits of blood could be collected blood in the uterus after periods or due to post coital tear leading to spotting.

If the lump and discharges persist, better to consult your Gynecologist once, get examined to find out the exact cause of the problem. In general antibiotics, analgesic and anti inflammatory drugs and sitz bath can help to counteract the symptoms.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hello,

For this, there are few causes and most common is Bartholin's Cyst which Is located midway of the labia, and protrudes into the vagina and may cause discomfort during sexual intercourse.

Bartholin's cyst is formed when a Bartholin's gland is blocked, causing a fluid-filled cyst to develop.

Bartholin's cyst is not an infection, although it can be caused by an infection, inflammation, or physical blockage (mucus or other impediment) to the Bartholin's ducts (tubes which lead from the glands to the vulva).

Second, Infected hair follicle may form small absess, which can cause a small swelling, but it is associated with redness and throbbing pain.

Proper diagnosis requires a proper physical examination of the swelling in question. You might consult a gynaecologist who can examine and then decide on the appropriate treatment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
