Patient's question:
Detailed medical condition and consultation purpose: The right labia minora is swollen and painful when touched.Duration of onset and persistence: 4-5 days
Other: Is my condition likely to be sexually transmitted during intimacy with my partner? We were together about three or four days before this.
Doctor's answer:
There are many inflammatory diseases that can cause labial swelling. It is necessary to undergo examination to determine the cause, such as inflammation of the vagina or uterus, which can lead to increased secretions and irritation of the labia; or cysts of the Bartholin glands causing labial swelling, among others. It is recommended that you do not self-medicate to avoid worsening the condition. Avoid consuming greasy foods in moderation, especially foods that are considered "heating" such as seafood. Instead, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, avoid staying up late, and do not have excessive psychological stress.
