What do you suggest if my labia minora is swollen sudeen after my periods.please help me?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible infection: Menstrual blood has a pH of 7.4 and the vagina tries to maintain a pH of 4.0. A higher pH can allow bacterial overgrowth, especially if periods are heavy. If overgrowth is significant, bacterial vaginosis may result and the increased pH could inflame the labia minora. Sexual intercourse during menstrual periods could contribute as well.
