What Causes Redness And Itching On Vagina After Using A Menstrual Cup?

After wearing a menstrual cup that was uncomfortable, my inner lips are itchy and very red. A whole day without the cup has passed and I am still uncomfortable. Is it physical irritation still or might I have a fungal infection? I have no unusual smell or discharge.

It is mostly suggestive of vaginal fungal infection for which you can take some antibiotic preferably cefadroxyl or azithromycine after an expert opinion along with avil or cetrizine for itching. You can take fole 150 mg or use clingen-forte vaginal pessary to put into the vagina once daily for at-least 5 days.
