A lump with pus on the pubis in women - photos, reasons for its appearance, how to treat

The appearance of any formation on any part of the body always causes a feeling of fear for one’s own health.
Women are especially worried, who, moreover, are very concerned about the aesthetic side of the issue. A purulent lump on the pubis is an alarming symptom that should never be ignored. This neoplasm should not be taken only as an aesthetic defect, since the formation of lumps in the groin area can signal the development of certain pathologies in the body.

The first thing you need to do is visit a doctor who will help determine the cause of this phenomenon. If the formation arose as a result of any disease, then it will be possible to quickly get rid of it only by starting treatment in a timely manner.

Classification

Several types of wen can appear in women's intimate places. They differ in appearance and structure. In medicine there are:

1. Angiolipoma . Consists mainly of blood vessels.
2. Fibrolipoma . Formed as a result of pathological changes and proliferation of connective tissue.
3. Xanthoma . Has a soft texture. The neoplasm is flat and thin. The capsule is missing.
4. Diffuse lipoma . It is distinguished by its lobed structure. The tumor always grows in width.
5. Lipoma with a leg . It is secured with a small leg and sags under its own weight when it reaches a large size.

Neoplasms may appear singly or form small groups. Depending on the stage of development, small, medium and large wen are distinguished. Unlike formations that form on the face, back and other parts of the body, they can cause serious problems with the genitourinary system.

Symptoms and signs of wen on the labia

Neoplasms can appear on the labia minora, labia majora, and pubis. A lipoma looks like a lump that rises above the skin and is not connected to it. The growth of fatty tissue never becomes inflamed, does not hurt and reaches large sizes - up to 15 cm.

Atheroma is part of the dermis, mobile, painless, symmetrical in shape, always contains a capsule, the size reaches 3 cm. It feels like a pea, the color is white or yellowish.

Since the formation is associated with the ducts of the sebaceous glands, there is a risk of their damage, accompanied by the following symptoms:

• increase in volume, itching;
• pain when pressed;
• hyperemia, swelling;
• increased body temperature, headache;

When opened independently, a fistula is formed, from which the contents of the capsule emerge.

Causes

Experts have not been able to fully understand the true reasons for the appearance of wen on the labia and groin area. But based on many years of research, a number of factors have been identified that can influence and provoke their occurrence:

1. Heredity . One of the main causes of such diseases.
2. Metabolic disease . It affects not only individual organs or systems, but the entire body as a whole, especially the functioning of the sebaceous glands and adipose tissue. High cholesterol content makes fat viscous. It is this substance that clogs the sebaceous glands and accumulates in the layers of connective tissue.
3. Hormonal changes . Diseases of the thyroid gland affect the entire body, as it produces many hormones necessary for the proper functioning of organs.
4. Poor nutrition . It is the cause of the development of many diseases not only of the gastrointestinal tract. Fast food and fast food products contain a large amount of carcinogens that accumulate in the body and disrupt the process of their elimination.
5. Regular consumption of alcoholic beverages. Alcohol also promotes the accumulation of toxic substances.

In addition, various diseases of those organs that are responsible for the process of removing toxins and fluids, as well as hematopoiesis, can increase the likelihood of a wen appearing.

It is often difficult to identify the cause of the formation of wen in the groin in women, since they usually act complexly and reinforce each other.

Ways of infection with genital warts

Intimate papillomas are a type of skin disease, but there are several ways of infection:

• sexual intercourse;
• after touching the genitals during oral-genital contact, petting, hygiene procedures;
• in a household way;
• from an infected mother to a baby during childbirth.

The virus can persist in the air for some time, so there is a possibility of papillomas occurring as a result of self-infection through personal belongings (underwear, towels) and similar household items. Pubic warts more often appear in men and women who shave their private parts and do not follow proper hygiene rules - small lesions on the skin are very easy to get infected.

As it turns out, pubic warts appear faster when conditions are created that are conducive to their development. Among them are:

• period of bearing a child;
• postpartum period;
• breast-feeding;
• failure to comply with personal hygiene rules;
• long-term use of contraceptives;
• frequent stress;
• imbalance of the microflora of intimate organs.

People who began to be sexually active early and regularly change sexual partners are more susceptible to infection with the papilloma virus.

Clinical picture

If the tumor is small, it may not be noticeable. Clinical manifestations depend on what influenced the appearance of the tumor, but the pathology is always accompanied by discomfort.

At the initial stage of development, the spread of the inflammatory process is observed, which is accompanied by the following symptoms:

1. Pain . Occurs when walking.
2. Itching . Intensifies at night.
3. Redness of the upper layer of the epidermis.
4. Increased temperature .
5. Burning and hyperemia.
6. Loss of appetite . As a result, the patient begins to rapidly lose weight.
7. Headache dizziness .
8. Changes in the clinical blood .

Based on the manifestations, a wen in the groin can be distinguished from various types of hernias, which manifest themselves in the form of:

1. Constipation or flatulence.
2. Tachycardia and fever.
3. Nausea.
4. Increased body temperature.
5. Pain in the lumbar region.

The main difference is that the tumor increases when sneezing or straining. In this case, the disease is accompanied by redness and bluish discoloration of the skin in the area of ​​hernia formation.

In cases where the cause of the appearance of a lump is varicose veins or the formation of blood clots in the vessels, pulsation is observed in the area of ​​the neoplasm. In this case, the surface of the bump becomes lumpy, and the pain radiates to the leg.

Thus, based on clinical manifestations, one can easily distinguish a wen in the intimate area from a hernia and other pathologies that are similar in appearance.

It is strictly not recommended to make a diagnosis and prescribe treatment on your own, as this should be done by the attending physician. When the first symptoms appear, you should consult a specialist.

Preventive measures

As a rule, it is quite possible to avoid the occurrence of a pathological process. To do this, you must adhere to several rules:

• use protective equipment during sexual intercourse;
• pay special attention to intimate hygiene - take a shower in the morning and evening, using soap or another antiseptic;
• Promptly disinfect any areas of possible infection.

The formation of purulent lumps can be caused by many factors. Basically, these formations do not pose a serious health hazard, but they often cause quite severe painful sensations that interfere with leading a normal lifestyle.

Therefore, it is extremely important to start treatment on time, as well as follow preventive measures to avoid their recurrence.

Diagnostics

First of all, the doctor conducts an examination and palpation examination. Other diagnostic methods are prescribed to exclude the presence of malignant neoplasms and other pathologies. They are also necessary to identify the nature of the formation, type and determine the method of treatment.

Diagnostic measures for a wen in the groin area include:

1. Ultrasonography . Allows you to determine the presence of pathological contents in the capsule.
2. X-ray examination. It is prescribed to determine the location of the tumor.
3. Biopsy . Using a special thin needle, the doctor takes a sample of capsule tissue and contents. The material is then sent to the laboratory for further research. This method allows you to determine the presence or absence of malignant cells.

Even a small formation should be treated. This is due to the fact that there is a risk of the wen degenerating into a malignant tumor. It is for this reason that if minor tumors appear, you should consult a doctor who will determine the cause and, if necessary, prescribe a course of treatment.

Are such lipomas dangerous and how to avoid complications?

Factors that have a mutational effect on pubic lipoma provoke complications:

1. When located close to nerve endings, pain is observed.
2. The increase is caused by pressure on nearby organs.
3. Inflammatory process caused by trauma. The result will be pus and severe pain.

Removing or piercing a wen located in the groin with a needle at home is dangerous to health due to the risk of infection. To avoid consequences, consult a doctor.

Treatment methods

Modern medicine can offer a number of methods for getting rid of wen on the pubic and groin area in women. These include:

Liposuction

A small incision is made on the skin using a special lepoaspirator device. Excess fat tissue is then sucked out. After the procedure, an inconspicuous scar is left on the body, the length of which is no more than 0.5 cm, while the capsule remains in the connective tissue, which can provoke the reappearance of the wen.

Radio wave surgery

It is used in cases where the size of the tumor is no more than 3 cm in diameter. Before the operation, the patient is given local anesthesia. The incision is made using a radio wave knife, which blocks bleeding from the vessels located in the epidermis. Scars after surgery are hardly noticeable. The only contraindication is the presence of a pacemaker.

Laser removal

It is considered the most effective method for removing wen in the intimate area in women. Thanks to the use of a high-precision laser, the risk of inflammation and swelling of the skin, as well as the reappearance of the wen, is significantly reduced.

The beam does not affect healthy tissue. Not only the contents are removed, but also the shell itself. The method is used only in the presence of small neoplasms formed in the deep layers of the epidermis.

Surgical removal

The traditional resection method is a radical method when it is not possible to use other options. It is used in cases where the wen has reached large sizes. Before the procedure, local anesthesia is applied. The fatty tissue is removed along with the capsule. Scars remain after the procedure.

The choice of resection method depends on the size of the tumor, the presence of contraindications, the location of the tumor and the individual characteristics of the body.
