Itchiness, Swollen Areas Around Labia, Clitoris, Stinging While Urinating. Using Vagisil, On Birth Control. Treatment?

Hi, i ve been one month into my birth control , and a week after my period ( two weeks not sexually active) i ve experienced a lot of itchiness, redness, and swollen areas around my labia and clitoris, along with a slight sting during urination . This started after i used a soap at a hotel. I m not sure if thats the reason why, or if i m reacting to the birth control. I recently bought vagisil to relieve the itchiness, it kinda works, but as far as walking/sitting, the swollen/sensitive part is painful. Don t really know what s going on, or what to do. i ve had this pain for about 3 days.

Hi and thanks,
There is a high probability that this is a urinary tract infection. The clinical description makes the possibility of an infection that originating in the external vaginal region or vagina and gradually spread to the urinary tract causing the itching and urination difficulties. An examination of sample in this area and a careful urine examination are mandatory. A recent history of uprotected sex is important to be noted. Protected sex and advice of partner to get consulted also is my advice. Kind regards
