Since you do have a history of cancer in your family, I would suggest that you both have regular check-ups with your gynecologist.
A lump inside vaginal cavity is probably just a cyst. There are many glands inside and sometimes they block, and the
secretion they produce builds up under the skin forming a cyst. If it gets infected, it may cause a lot of pain and swelling, especially if itβs a bartholinβs cyst.
The only way to know for sure is have it checked and decide on the proper treatment with a doc if necessary.
The treatment may vary depending on the size, possible infection, pain, age, etc.
If itβs small and causes little discomfort, it could be left alone and watched over.
If it has become infected, it may need to be drained. A small cut is made in the cyst, fluid/puss is drained (it is probably dead bacteria inside), and stitches are placed. This procedure is done under
general anesthesia and it includes a hospital stay for a day or two.
