I noticed a red lump on the left side of my clitoris. Its painful and it feels like somethings in there. Im scared to pop it. I have been tested for std, aid, and hsv1 and 2 and came completely negative. What could this be? i have taken a few pictures of the issue
Hi, Dear,Thanks for the query to Chat Doctor. I went through your query and understood your health concerns. In My opinion-that lump on left side of clitoris-could be due to -cyst of the Bartholdi gland, with retention due to infective blockage of the Bartholdi gland, may be caused from trauma/ viral/ bacterial infection.-Please show it to ER Doctor who would treat it accordingly. Treatment-a-Tb NSAID for the pain antibiotics for to control infection c-Most of the time it subsides in 5 days time.d-If it persists and grows -then Excision of the Cyst would be done by Gynaec-Surgeon. No need to worry as its retention cyst of the Bartholdi glands mostly.-Hope this would help to resolve your worrisome query on your next visit with your family GP doctor. Wellcome for further query to Chat Doctor in this regard. Wishing you fast recovery.
