What Causes Thick Swollen Vagina Along With White Vaginal Discharge?
I washed an unused tampon in my laundry and dried it (it was in the pocket of my coat). When I was at work I started my period and used that same tampon. The last few days my vagina is swollen, itchy and smells bad. It hurts during intercourse. I also now have thick white discharge. Is it because of this? Is this an infection? What should I do?

Hi,
From history it seems that there might be having infection in vaginal canal due to unhygienic tampon or poor local hygiene during period time.
You might require one course of antibiotic medicine for 5 days.
Keep local hygiene clean and dry.
Ok and take care.
