VERY pale pink vulva

Hello. I had kind of an icky, burning feeling in my vulva, and I decided to take a look with a mirror. The inside of my vulva(Pretty much the WHOLE  urethral and vaginal area)is a very pale, pale pink. Almost white in fact. I would describe it as having a sort of "blanched" appearance. My labia appear somewhat lighter as well. I at first thought it was discharge that had accumulated there, but I wiped it off, and it was still VERY pale. What could be causing this?  Could this be from anemia?(I am a little anemic) Could there be a diminished blood flow problem? I have noticed that it is taking me forever to become aroused and to orgasm. Yeast infection? Please help. I am very concerned about this. Thanks for reading..C

Anaemia is one possibility, others include thyroid dysfunction or strongly fluxuating hormone levels.  (Women who are just going into menopause have that symptom, but you don't come off as quite that old yet.)

If it is accompanied by discharge, horrid iching, or anything that even remotely looks out of the ordinary, go to a doctor, otherwise, increase your iron intake and it ought to go away.
