Suggest Treatment For Swelling In The Labia Minora
I m on my fifth day of period. From yesterday I am facing a severe burning sensation in my outer layer of vagina. Today I noticed that both the side of labia minora got swollen and m facing a burning sensation during urination and also i found that the sides are dried up. What should I do?
Hi, Thanks for posting in HCM. I understand your concern. Swelling of the genital region what you have been experiencing could be due to inflammation of the region. Kindly do the following to overcome the same. 1. Wash the region with mild antiseptic solution like Savlon twice daily. 2. After drying, apply Neomycin with Hydrocortisone cream over the swollen region. 3. Take anti-allergic medication Tablet. Levocetirizine once a day. 4. Use vaginal pH balancing solution like 'v wash' regularly. 5. Wear loose fitting undergarments to avoid friction in the area. 5. Abstain from sexual activities till the swelling subsides completely. Kindly maintain good personal hygiene. Your symptoms should subside gradually. Hope the information provided would be helpful. All the best.
