Hello,

The soreness and swelling in the vagina during 33rd week of pregnancy can be due to possible infection through some sort of
bacteria or fungi. My guidelines at present:
- As during 3rd trimester of pregnancy, many of the medications cannot be consumed safely, a consultation with your OBGYN is must
- Vaginal hygiene with antiseptic liquid
- Wear loose, clean, cotton inner wears
- Avoid vaginal intercourse (if active)
- Local application of calamine lotion
- Prescription of necessary antibiotics and antihistamine with your doc
- Local application of steroid or anti-fungal cream is corner stone of therapy

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
