What Causes Soreness, Swelling, Itching And Burning Sensation In Vagina Post Intercourse?

I recently had my period (which was normal in flow, but shorter by 2 days) followed by sex on the last day. The next day I was sore and a little swollen. two days later, i have itching, burning, and swelling of the vaginal area, and today I am lightly bleeding. I have started a yeast infection OTC treatment, which is helping the itching and burning. I m concerned that this is much more than that, or am I paranoid?

Hello dear
I understand our concern
soreness, swelling, itching and burning sensation in vagina post intercourse could be due to vaginal infections (bacterial vaginosis, yeast, chlamydia) or vulvovaginitis.
I would suggests to consult the gynecologist and under vaginal examination and vaginal swab test to confirm the infections.
Doctor will give following advises:
Vaginal suppository like clingen plus lactobacillus.
Wash vagina with warm salted water and then apply apple cidar vinegar.
Maintain hygiene by using V-Vaginal plus wash.
Take single doe treatment of azithromycin + secnidazole + flucanazole.
Drink plenty of water and healthy diet.
Avoid stress. Wear pure cotton loose undergarments.
Avoid rough sex and maintain proper hygiene before and after sex.
Hope this may help you
