There is a hard thing growing in the vagina

The human body's genitals are very private, and many people do not take adequate care of and clean their genitals. Some women may find a hard thing growing on their vulva. This is most likely due to inflammation and infection of the vulva. They need to clean the vulva in time or go to the hospital for examination. So, what is the matter with a hard thing growing on the vagina?

In addition, the estrogen level in menopausal women decreases, causing the resistance of the skin and mucous membranes of the vulva to decrease. Therefore, if menopausal women do not pay attention to the hygiene of their vulva or have abrasions on the vulva skin, the hair follicles and surrounding tissues there are easily infected by bacteria, causing vulvar folliculitis. In the early stages of the disease, symptoms such as pain and redness of the skin may occur in the affected hair follicles and their surrounding areas. As the disease progresses, the affected hair follicles may gradually form pustules surrounded by red halos and are tender to the touch.

A hair may stick out from the top of the pustule (if there is pus, a small white dot may appear on the top of the pustule). Sometimes one hair follicle is infected, sometimes multiple. If the inflammation gets worse, the infected hair follicles may form boils.

Folliculitis of the genitals is often caused by decreased immunity, poor hygiene of the vulva, secondary bacterial infection (mostly Staphylococcus aureus infection), or damage caused by pulling, friction, and scratching of the hair. Bacterial infection, sleep, diet, environment, gastrointestinal function, sweat gland secretion, physical constitution, vitamin deficiency and other factors can affect it. This is also the cause of folliculitis. If you suffer from genital folliculitis, you should keep your genitals clean and take a bath frequently. Limit the use of alcohol and spicy foods. Eat more foods rich in vitamins, trace elements and high protein.
