Lacks in the vagina can alarm at first.They are more common than it is believed and the first reaction is usually to think about cancer.Although this is not disposable, the truth is that most of the time they obey other reasons.
Almost always the packages in the vagina are small benign cysts.It is very common that they obey a blocked gland.The indicated thing is always to consult with the doctor if they do not disappear.
Before stopping in the reasons why those packages arise in the vagina, some clarifications should be made.The usual thing is that when using the word vagina reference to both this and the vulva, which corresponds to the external genitals.
The vagina is a muscle tube that connects with the uterus.It covers a mucous membrane and has roughness on its surface that are called folds.These allow the expansion of the vagina during sexual intercourse and in childbirth.
The vulva, meanwhile, is made up of major or external lips.In the internal fold of these there are sebaceous glands.In the internal part are the minor lips, which surround the opening of the vagina.There are the Skene and Bartolino glands, which produce lubricants.
Clarified the above, we will immediately see the main conditions that cause packages in the vagina and in the vulva.Go for it.
1.Vulvar cysts
These types of cysts are formed when there is obstruction of the Skene glands or the Bartolino glands.They are almost always hard and small.They do not cause pain, unless they become infected.The usual thing is that they disappear by themselves.
two.Vaginal cysts
These types of cysts are formed on the wall of the vagina.The common thing is that they obey some kind of injury or that they appear after childbirth.
They do not become bigger than a pea.They do not need treatment, unless they cause any discomfort, in which case they are drained or removed.
3.Fordyce spots
Fordyce spots, better known as Fordyce grains, are tiny bumps that can appear in the vulva and other parts of the body.They are whitish, benign and non -infectious.They do not cause pain and do not require treatment.
4.Varicose veins
Another of the reasons why packages appear in the vagina are the pelvic varicose veins.These are swollen veins around the vulva.
They look like round laces or as blue protuberances.Sometimes they cause itching or bleeding.They may not require treatment.

9.Folliculitis
Follicitis is the inflammation of a hair follicle.In the genital area it usually begins when the follicle is damaged by friction or blocked by shaving or inappropriate hair removal.
Then there is a staphylococcal bacteria infection and that is when packages appear in the vagina.Antibiotics may be prescribed.
10.Blocked sweat gland
The obstruction of the sweat glands can take place anywhere in the body and the vagina is no exception.Causes a condition called suppurative hydramentitis, which causes pain and leaves hard scars.It is treated with anti -inflammatory medications with antibiotics.

Syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease that has resurfaced with greater prevalence in recent years.One of its symptoms is the appearance of small packages in the vagina, which are painless.
They disappear after about 3 weeks, but this does not mean that infection has been overcome.It requires treatment and is potentially deadly.
13.Cutaneous papillomas
Cutaneous papillomas are small leather flaps that stand out and appreciate with the naked eye.They are not dangerous nor is it common for them to cause discomfort.If they generate them, they can be removed by laser or surgery.
14.Cancer
Cases of vulva or vagina cancer are very rare.They are characterized by the appearance of flat and high sores or bumps in the vulva that do not heal after a few weeks.It is common for them to cause pain, itching or burning.Also unusual secretions or bleeding.They are diagnosed by biopsy.
Most packages in the vagina can be treated at home without any problem.In the case of cysts, which are the most common bumps, just take warm water baths several times a day.This helps drain them.
