Why do I have itchy bumps on the outside of my labia majora?

The labia is an important part of the female reproductive system, which can effectively protect the female vagina and urethra from viral infection. Some women will experience itchy bumps on the outside of their labia majora. This situation has a great impact on their body. People need to understand the cause in time and then take effective measures to treat it to prevent more serious situations. So let me explain what is going on when the pimples on the outside of the labia majora are itchy.

Itchy bumps on the outside of the labia majora are mostly caused by genital warts, a sexually transmitted disease caused by human papillomavirus (HPV) infection and characterized by proliferative lesions in the anal and genital area. Most cases occur in young and middle-aged people aged 18 to 50. The disease occurs after an incubation period of about half a month to eight months, with an average of three months. This disease is relatively common and is mainly transmitted through sexual contact.

harm:

1. Ulcers and bleeding: As the lesions grow larger and more numerous, they may cause local foreign body sensations and discomfort. Because the diseased sites are mostly in the vagina, urethra, labia, inner vagina, and perianal area, these sites are easily infected by microorganisms, leading to ulcers, suppuration, bleeding, pain and swelling in the affected areas.

2. Infect the baby and affect the quality of childbirth: If a woman suffers from genital warts, the baby passing through the birth canal may be infected during delivery, causing biting and respiratory warts in infants and young children.

3. It can cause papilloma: through direct contact or indirect contact through contaminated objects, it can cause papilloma of the conjunctiva and papilloma of the oral mucosa.

4. Canceration: Malignant tumors are serious complications of genital warts. If HPV16 or 18 infection is not treated in time, it is likely to cause cancer, cervical cancer and other malignant tumors in the future. Early treatment is an effective way to prevent genital warts from becoming cancerous.
