Is E-coli Infections, Related With Swollen And Itchy Labia?
About 4 days ago I had unprotected intercourse. Immediately following intercourse my labia became EXTREMELY swollen. The next morning i had a nasty itch that would not go away. The next night i noticed paper-cut looking cuts on my labia. I made an appt and had my blood drawn to test for possible herpes virus, My blood work has not come back yet but the culture came back e coli positive. Do these symptoms fall under e coli?

I can understand your concern
don't worry swollwn labia is due to inflammation in that area
I t may be tight unprotected intercourse
itching is also due to infection with bacteris or fungi
so plz take antibiotic like cefixime 200mg along with metrogyl 400mg twice daily for 3 to 5 days and antiinlammatory like aceclo plus for 3 days twice .
you can apply clotrimazole v cream along the swollen area .
blood reports may show the bacterial or fungal infection only .
it will subside within 3 to 5days
avoid intercourse for 5 days till it subside .ok
