What Causes Swelling In The Vagina?
I am a 28-year-old female. Its my Menstruation period going now, almost its the fifth day. From yesterday onwards, there is a small swelling on my left vaginal wall, its not paining, but when I touch it, its little bit paining, also urine is also somewhat yellowish color. But no paining of urinary infection. Can I know the reason

hi,
Thanks for asking. I understand your concern.
The thickening of vaginal wall without vaginal or urinary infection.... seems to be due to-
- friction caused by sanitary towel irritated delicate inner lining of vagina... which got swollen/ painful., probably accompanied by carelessness in changing the towel/.spontaneous itching may cause it the same way.
- A previous asymptomatic infection might have flourished in menstrual blood & cause the symptom.
* if it dies not disappear in 2-3 days with local care, pain pills otc/ or it recures again- you need consultation of a gynecologist . It can be beginning of swelling in Bartholin gland that lies embedded in side wall of vagina.... which may subside with treatment or may form an abscess, so better to note it early.
Thanks
