Swollen Labia

by Spanner7, Jul 27, 2006 12:00AM
The left side of my labia is swollen.  This gets worse just after my period and sometimes is red. I also have got a yellow discharge and feel sticky sometimes.  This is putting me off having sex with my husband any ideas as to what this might be?

Have you been checked for BV (bacterial vaginosis)?  It's pretty common, and should be treated with antibiotics if you have it.  Other possibilities might be allergy to latex if you use condoms, (though why it wouldn't be generally throughout your vagina if that is it, I wouldn't know), STDs, or other kinds of infections.  Definitely time to see your doc.  If it is BV, your hubby should be treated at the same time, because he can pass it back to you once you are healed.  Good luck!

It could also be one of your Bartholin glands... sounds a lot like something I went through a few years ago. The GYN drained it, it healed, and all was well.

You most definitely need to see your doctor.
