About the symptom
The perineum is the space between the anus and scrotum in the male, or between the anus and the vulva in the female. Tumors in the perineum are rare and can feel like a painless lump which may be soft, firm or hard.
Possible causes
- Condyloma Acuminatum
Commonly called a genital wart, this is a sexually transmitted disease caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV).
- Genital herpes
This is a sexually transmitted disease caused by Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV). It causes painful, small blisters over the private parts.
- Infection after perineal laceration repair
Sometimes, there are inevitable tears around the vagina after delivery, which needs to be repaired with stitches. Occasionally, the stitches and wounds may get infected, causing the area to be red, swollen and painful. The wound may also open up as a result.
