Is Vaginal Soreness Indicative Of An Infection?

My boyfriend and I tried having sex whilst I was menstruating. A few days after my period needed, I developed fishy smelling discharge and light cramping, which I self diagnosed as bacterial vaginosis. Over the course of a week the smell went with the help of an over the counter product called Canesbalance (bought in the UK). After 7 days from the start of the symptoms we tried having sex again which became sore at times; now my vagina is very swollen. There isn t any smell or itchiness, but is the swelling connected to the infection and what should I do?

Hello dear,
Do not worry.
You are suffering from bacterial vaginosis or trichomonas vaginosis
Take following advice.

1. Wash your vagina with this water twice a day for two to three days with warm water
2. Apply Apple cider vinegar: it has excellent antibacterial and antifungal properties
3. Salt Bath- Wash your vagina with concentrated salt water whenever you feel the itch. This will give you great relief instantly and prevent further multiplication of bacteria.
4. Antibacterial/fungal talcs: apply candid powder
5. Keeping The Vagina Dry (Not wet, clean well)
6. Wear Loose Clothing
7. Also take antibiotic
You should use following single dose treatment:

1. AZEE 1000 mg (AZITHROMYCIN)
2. TINI 1 G (TINIDAZOLE)
3. ZOCON 150 mg (FLUCONAZOLE)
or you can take tablet metronidazole 400 mg three times a day for three day
Avoid sex and avoid douching till you get better.
Hope this may help you.
Take care and stay healthy.
