Hi. I've been experiencing discharge, odorless and thick, also itchiness,redness and a swollen vulva. I took over the counter yeast infection medicine yesterday. Woke Up, and the discharge has definitely gone down, almost stopped. Swelling as gone down.
What is the most likely cause for inflammation around the vulva that is accompanied by dryness and extreme itchiness, no secretions and no odor?
Can you have a yeast infection without much discharge (instead - red, irritated, burning skin on the vulva, little itchiness)?
I've been itching and burning down by my vulva area. I assumed it was a yeast infection and used 3-day Monistat with cream but I'm still itchy. ?
