Question
My right vaginal lip is swollen a lot. I can hardly walk or sit down. It's very painful. I just got over staph infection in my leg. Do you have any answers to the swolleness on my vagina lip? Like as in treatment or anything?
Answer
This could be an enlarged Bartholin cyst which will require drainage. It is very important for you to be evaluated by your doctor. Cultures could be taken then to ensure there is no other infection.
