Question 1

one side of my vagina is swollen. at first it was itchy right after i came off of my menstrual. i scratched so much that i made it bleed, now theres ?

Accepted Answer

Yeast? Herpes?: This might be nothing more than local irritation madee worse by scratching and causing superficial wounds. However, if there are open sores or if the swelling and itchiness started before you scracthed it, a yeast infection or genital herpes might be possible. Keep your hands off for at least a few days and see a doctor if there are sores and/or the swelling and irritaiton continue.

Question 2

since few days my vagina is very red and swollen. it's also very itchy and when i finally scratch it it even starts to bleed a bit. no sexual contact?

Accepted Answer

Vaginitis...: It seems you might be suffering of candida vaginitis or in other words vagina yeast infection which causes the symptoms you are describing. I am not sure if where you are at you have the ability to get over the counter medication, but if you do, clotrimazole, for example,  can help with symptoms. If not see your doctor for exam and treatment.

Accepted Answer

See doctor: You need a pelvic exam and a diagnosis and then treatment option

Question 5

why is my vagina irritated and now bleeding after sex? the opening to my vagina has been very irritated and itchy all week. no swelling or redness. it has been dry as well. i had sex this morning, it was sort of painful. and i immediately started bleeding

Accepted Answer

It : It sounds like you are dealing with a vaginal yeast or bacterial infection. Since your vagina is dry and irritated the tissue is inflammed and having sex can irritate the tissue further thus causing bleeding. I recommend you visit a doctor for evaluation and treatment. If that is not an option for you, you can try an over the counter yeast infection medication like Monistat or clotrimazole. If you do that and your symptoms do not improve then you definitely need to visit a doctor.
Good luck and happy new year.

Question 6

hello i fell down the stairs on saturday (it's now monday). i now have an itchy and painful coccix, pain in both shoulder blades and i'm bleeding heavily from my vagina but not due on my period until the beginning of june. what is happening? thanks?

Accepted Answer

: I am concerned the most about the heavy bleeding from the vagina. You should go to the neighborhood ER for a complete assessment. Good luck.

Question 7

vagina swollen itchy red and discharge after medication? now what

Accepted Answer

Yeast: If you took an antibiotic and now have a itchy discharge, you probably have a yeast infection.  There are over the counter medications available at your pharmacy.

Question 8

i lost my virginity about a week ago and had sex a few times and for a couple days now the opening of my vagina and around has been swollen and itchy?

Accepted Answer

Could be: The swelling and itching around the opening of your vagina could be due to a soap, lubricant, condom, etc. that you have used and are sensitive to ( a kind of allergic reaction) or you could have a yeast infection. If it is a sensitivity, you risk making it worse if you use a yeast cream or suppository. Your PCP or GYN can give you an oral medicine to try.

Question 9

hello. last week i used soap to wash my vagina, which caused it to burn and this past week it has been on and itchy. i used cream and now it's swollen?

Accepted Answer

Swelling: Itching and swelling of the vagina can be seen with a yeast infection or, in your case could be a reaction to the cream you applied. If you're having associated vaginal discharge a vaginal infection is likely. If no discharge, discontinue any creams and apply warm water compresses. Avoid tight underwear or jeans. See your physician if symptoms don't improve or if there is a discharge.

Question 10

my bf and i had intercourse and now my vagina is very swollen and itchy. what could this be from? i've been tested for stds and i was clear.

Accepted Answer

Latex allergy: If  you used a latex condom, is possible you are allergic to it. Keep in mind latex condom are the only one that may  protect you from std. Sheep skin condom may prevent pregnancy, but not std.
