1. Infection: Bacterial infections are one of the most common causes, such as vestibular glanditis, which may lead to swelling and pain in the vulvar area. 2. Cyst formation: Due to anatomical characteristics, women are prone to develop cysts in the genital region, such as Bartholin's cyst. 3. Inflammation: Gynecological inflammations such as vulvitis and vaginitis may also cause vulvar swelling. 4. Allergy: Allergic reactions to certain detergents, skincare products, etc., can also result in genital swelling. 5. Other causes: Less common causes such as tumors or trauma should not be overlooked either.
