itchy swollen labia,no discharge

I am a 57,no period for 1.5 years, this problem started 2 months ago and boy is it a pain, I was wondering if it is hormonal as for the first time in 1.5 years i have had some vaginal bleeding the last few days, is this perhaps connected,this is only on left labia and really swollen. I know this is not connected to hygiene,STD or allergy. I don"t get hot flashes but at night when I wake up itchy I notice my pubic area is wet from sweat and hot to.

The swelling and bleeding are probably not related. The swollen labia may be due to an infection of the Bartholin's gland on that side.  Look up "Bartholin's cyst" on the internet and see if that might be your problem.

Solution of your problem maybe stood there beside you all this time.
There could be a number of causes for this, but none of them serious; you'll be pleased to know.
It is most likely to be some form of allergy or dermatitis, and the commonest causes of this in this area is a reaction to something you are coming into contact with.
This could be your new underwear which has some synthetic fibers in it and they could cause this reaction.
Or it could be a vaginal deodorant or spray if you use one, or even a bath shampoo of some sort.
You probably know that this is a very sensitive region and you should be aware that all new materials or chemicals may cause some allergic reaction.
So think about whether there is something you are coming into contact with in this region that might be causing it.
Remove that factor and voila – your problems are solved!
