Question
I woke up yesterday morning with a soreness in my vagina. I looked at it today and noticed a bump on one side of my inner lip. It's about the size of the circumference of a pen cap and makes my lip very swollen. It's also very sensitive. I haven't had sex in about two weeks. What could this be? I don't have the money to go to the doctor unless I have to so please answer. Thanks.
Answer
Try taking warm baths or putting a warm compress on the swollen and sore area. If it does not go down you should see a doctor - sorry. Good luck!
