Suggest Treatment For Swelling And Pain In The Vagina After Having Intercourse

For the last couple of months I ve had pretty severe UTIs and then I had a yeast infection which I was treated for and it seemed to have cleared up for the most part. Then I had sexual intercourse with a new partner, unprotected. I had some pain and bleeding during, and my clitoris swelled up and got very sensitive. Ever since then (about a week) it has been extremely tender and stings like hell. It hurts all the time but it s the worst when I touch it and when I urinate. I also have some dark brown discharge. I tried a baking soda and tea tree oil bath, which may have made it even worse. I tried cortisone, again which I think only made it worse. I tried doing most of the things for a YI that I could fine online. Today I went to urgent care and they tested me for STDs, all of which came back negative. I sat through a very painful pelvic exam only to be told that I have another UTI and a yeast infection. Today I started the medications for both of those conditions. I also bought cream for diaper rash as the doctor suggested which, once again, only made it worse or didn t affect it at all. I feel extremely helpless right now as I m in A LOT of pain and it hasn t been improving/has worsened for a WEEK.

Hi,

For yeast infection, you need to take oral medicines with vaginal pessaries/ointment. The medications for UTI needs to be taken with the alkaline mixture (vital liquid) genital washes with warm water followed by local applications would hasten relief.

You should have no sex, nor handling of the organ. In case of no relief at all in 3 days, vaginal swab culture /urine culture should be done to note the exact organism followed by specific medications.

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

Take care

Regards,
