Suggest Treatment For Swollen And Painful Vagina

The right side of my inner vagina is swollen, very painful to the point that I can t sit or walk, and even laying down can be painful. I am not sexually active, but I do masturbate sometimes. I am obese but that alone has not immobilized me. I think I can see some black/purple spots on it. It s kind of hard but squishy at the same time. Most of the hood of my clit is very swollen and painful too. I m only 20 and I can t afford to go to the doctors right now, please help!

Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.

your problem is may be VULVODYNIA,in which there will be pain ,swelling, itching and redness in the clitoris, and labia region.

Vulva is having number of bartholine glands which are important for the lubrication .
When these glands gusts get obstructed it leads to swelling.

Vulvodynia may also occur due sensitive nerves and pelvic muscles weakness.

Treatment of your condition-

Anti allergic like LEVOCETRIZINE to prevent itching.
Alternate cold and hot compresses to decrease swelling.
Maintenance of personnel hygiene.
Weight loss is advised.
lot of water intake to hydrate the skin.
Use moisturizer.
Wear soft and loose cotton cloths.

If possible consult a dematologist and get a bedside health checkup and get a biopsy of the vulval tissue and a get complete cure of your problem.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
