Swollen and Freaked Out!! Help!!
| Mon, 04-11-2005 - 10:08pm |
I think i might have a yeast infection or something i dont know. i started to have a little bit of off-white discharge but i didnt think anything of it cause sometime i'll have that and it'll go away. well then my bf and i had sex and it started to burn real bad so we stopped. well i was really uncomfortable down there so i took a mirror and looked and the area right below my vagina opening and before my anus was really swollen. like it was protruding out. when i walked, i could feel it but by the next morning, the swelling had gone away. i read that symptoms of a yeast infection can be swelling but is this what it meant? i had my period and i thought that after that it might go away. we had sex once and i was fine, then we did it again the next day and it was the same scenario. that was last night and today i've had white discharge. should i go to the doc or just get some over the counter stuff and see if it goes away with that? the whole swelling thing really freaked me out. has this ever happend to you and what can it be?

Hello I would go to the doctors because sometimes over the counter medication
may irritate more .
Hi il_heart04, welcome!
From your description it does sound as though you have a yeast infection. If I were you I'd have my doctor run a test to make certain that’s what it is and then prescribe the correct medicine for you. If you try self medication and guess wrong you can make your condition worse. For a good article on vaginal yeast infections see: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/001511.htm I hope you're feeling better soon. Let us know what your doctor says and how you're doing.
Good luck,
Jill
