Suggest Remedies For Swollen And Painful Left Labia Region In Vagina

I noticed that my left labia is swollen, and painful to the touch. I am 39 years old, have not been sexually active in months, have a clean bill of health, and have recently started taking birth control pills. I had some minor itching after my last period and assumed it was a yeast infection, then notice my labia is swollen now too.

Hello,

I think it can be a yeast infection but it can be a Bartholin cyst since one labia is swollen. Probably it can be infected.
You may need to get visited by a gynecologist.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Olgeta Xhufka, General & Family Physician
