Hi.

I've gone through your query. I can understand your anxiety.

Swollen labia could be due to yeast, bacterial or parasitic infections, Vulvar dermatitis, Bartholin's abscess or rough sex etc. As you already started your treatment for UTI, continue the same.

I would advice you to,
1. Maintain good hygiene and wash your vagina with soap warm water regularly.
2.  Avoid feminine products
3. Use soft cotton undergarments
4. Have safe sex
5. Take Antibiotics for a week ( based on the underlying cause) if not taken.
6. Check you blood glucose levels
7. Oral contraceptives if any used, should be temporarily stopped.

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

Regards,
Dr. Yogapriya V, General and family physician.
