painful swelling downstairs?
ok so today my labia minora and majora are swollen as well as a black patch on my labia minora on one side. I dont know what has caused this as I am not sexually active at the moment, and have had STI tests since i was last sexually active which were all negative.
this is very painful and when i try to walk it feels like i have something between my legs, Im too embarrased to go to the doctors about this and i am meant to be at work tomorrow but based on how painful it has been today im going to have to phone in sick.
has anyone ever experienced anything like this or know what it could be?

Hi flutterbygirl,
Just read your post. I would definitely recommend making an appoiintment
to see your family doctor. Your symptoms are concerning. Don't be embarrassed. I used to feel embarrassed by genital issues. However, the
older I get, I realize these doctors have probably dealt with patients with
similar if not identical symptoms. It's really important to make that appointment especially as you say it is so painful. You need to be seen
by your family doctor. You may need a referral to a specialist such as
a gynacologist. Make the first step. Call your doctor. You'll be okay but
make the appointment today. Evewisewoman ( Eve)

Thank you for encouraging flutterbygirl. I am in the same predicament with pain for the past seven weeks and had blood work done April4, 2013 and still waiting for the doctor to call me. The lab is acroos the street. It feels like someone is shoving a needle in my outer labia. But thank you I have a doctor's appointment on may 2, 2013 and wil go with courage
It is probably an infected gland or follicle or something. These things happen. You need to see a doctor. You can do it.
