When to seek medical advice
By Mayo Clinic staffCall your doctor if you have a painful lump near the opening of your vagina and it doesn't improve after two or three days of self-care treatment. If the pain is severe, make an appointment with your doctor right away.
If you find a lump near your vaginal opening and you're older than 40, call your doctor promptly. Although rare, such a lump may be a sign of a more serious problem, such as cancer.
