Question 1

is there bulbous swelling of anal yeast infection?

Accepted Answer

No: It sounds much more like a thrombosed hemorrhoid.  For the most part, anal yeast infection is a condition that gets discussed on the web much more often than it actually occurs.

Question 2

Question 3

is it ok to use clotrimazole1% topical cream for yeast infection or swelling?

Question 4

my yeast infection is gone,  but during sex i was swelling up again... what do you think happened? was it too soon to be intimate?

Accepted Answer

Yeast infection: Perhaps the yeast infection is not entirely resolved. There would be no way to tell what is going on without examining you. See your PCP and hope this clears up soon.

Question 5

yeast infection symptoms are milder than they were before. not much itching or swelling but some discharge. haven't taken anything for it. should i?

Accepted Answer

Consider it: Keeping the vulva clean and wearing loose, absorbent cotton clothing that allows air to circulate can reduce vulvar moisture and fungal growth. Topical or oral drugs are highly effective, vaginal creams are available OTC and typically placed inside the vagina with an applicator to kill off the yeast that cause yeast infections. You may consider treatment if persisted.

Question 6

i have a recurrent, painful swelling at the opening of my vagina, but i don't think it is a yeast infection. what could this be?

Accepted Answer

Cyst: Swelling at the opening of the vagina can be a Bartholin's gland cyst.  When the duct becomes blocked, fluid accumulates.  They can frequently become infected and cause an abscess with tenderness.  Treatment usually involves opening the cyst to allow drainage and can be performed in the office with local anesthetic.  Consult your physician for further evaluation.

Question 7

hello. i have had swelling on one side of my vagina for three days now. i'm not too positive if its just from a yeast infection or if its more severe.

Accepted Answer

Genital swelling: Yeast infection wouldn't usually cause one sided genital symptoms. If the swelling is painful, and especially if there are open sores, herpes is likely. See a doctor ASAP -- the sooner the better for accurate diagnosis. Also, if it's herpes, treatment effectiveness depends on starting treatment right away. Good luck!
