Hello dear
I understand your concern
It could be chemical energy, urethritis and vaginal infections.
Vaginal examination, vaginal swab test adn urine test will help in diagnosis after consulting the gynecologist.
Doctor will give following advises:
Wash the vagina with warm salted water and then apply apple cidar vinegar 2-3 times per day.
For infections use clingen vaginal ointment
Wear pure cotton loose undergarments and maintain pelvic hygiene by using vagisil cream.
Syrup cital will also use.
If thing is sever and swelling not responds then prescribed mild steroid application can be useful for short period of time.
Drink plenty of water and take healthy diet with multivitamin and mineral supplements.
Hope this may help you
