Hi, so my vagina is swollen and itchy and it has a deep red color and my inner lips are a purple color. I started to have the symptoms after masturbation and it's uncomfortable. I've had a yeast infection once last year and the symptoms are sort of the same. But the last time I had a yeast infection I was with my ex and now this is masturbation and I've done it plenty of times. So I'm concerned why the swelling hasn't gone down.
