Is HPV Infection Related With Itchy And Swollen Clitoris?
hi, i have had this itchy and swollen vulva/clitoris and everytime i go to the doctors, they give me something to treat some fungus infection. and it does go away, but immediatly when i get sick and i take antibiotics, my problem comes back. it just itches, swells more everyday and becomes red..... does my being overweight and having HPV also a concern?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The increased weight would mean that there may be more heat and moisture in the vaginal region which would increase the chance of yeast infection occurring.
The HPV should not affect the frequency of yeast infections.
Antibiotics can cause yeast infections in some women because it alters the bacteria in the vaginal region.
I hope this helps
