Is STI Associated With Vaginal Swelling, Itchiness And Sores?

I am swollen in the vaginal area, sore, red and itchy at times. 8 months ago I split with my long term partner and had never had anything like this other than the odd dose of thrush. Since we have parted we have had sex a few times and I m worried that I m not the only person he has been sleeping with. The symptoms started after vigouros sex but eased after a week or so. Came back after sex again. Then went. Only this time I haven t had sex. Could I have an sti?

Hello
I share your concern.

Swollen red itchy and red vagina might be caused by infection or inflammation of the vagina or urogenital tract.

I would advise you for a battery of investigation like CBC, ESR, liver function test, blood sugar, Urine culture and sensitivity test, vaginal swab culture as well as ultrasound lower abdomen and pelvis.

You may require a course of antibiotics under medical supervision.

Meanwhile maintain good hygiene,take hot water bath.
try to be gentle during sexual intercourse and ask your partner to use condom next time.
Have lots of fluids which will help by flushing off the urogenital tract.

Hope this answers your question please feel free to ask for further clarification I will gladly answer you.
Best wishes
