What is a hard lump next to the vulva?


Dedicated to your healing journey.
If there is a hard mass next to the vulva, the hard mass itself will show pain when touched by hand. This situation is often caused by local inflammation, such as genital small boil, or caused by vestibular gland abscess. It is recommended to actively give anti-inflammatory treatment. If there is a hard mass next to the vagina, but there is no pain when touching it with your hand, this situation must be taken seriously. It is recommended to do superficial color ultrasound examination to understand the nature of the hard mass, mainly to rule out the possibility of vulvar cancer. In addition, it is clinically recommended to rule out hard chancre caused by syphilis infection. Therefore, blood tests for syphilis serum can be performed. Whether positive results are shown, clinical treatment is given according to the results.
