I m 12weeks pregnant with my second child. I had swelling on my vaginal left lip the first time I was pregnant how ever it poped on its own within a week of having it. It has returned with my second pregnancy I ve seen my doctor he put me on Antibiotics. He said it will clear up but for the past week it has been leaking browny smelly gunk. I rang my doctor explained and he said its fine. What should i do?
Hi there, thanks for the query. It looks like you have an infected cystic swelling there. Most probably a Bartholdi cyst. But It's very difficult to pinpoint diagnosis without clinic assessment. If you have taken antibiotics for over three days and you don't see improvement and if you have pain or tender private parts, do see your doctor again. Probably he will take the leaky material you said for culture and change antibiotics.  But if you notice a decrease in discharge over few days and it's not interfering in your daily activities, you can wait for it to resolve. If it happens to be a Bartholdi cyst, you may require a small procedure to remove it to avoid recurrence. Hope you find this information helpful. Take care.
