Suggest Treatment For Burning Sensation On The Inside Of My Vaginal Lips

I have been swimming a lot lately and have the symptoms of a yeast infection. I took over the counter AZO pills and I started feeling better within a few hours. The only symptom I have left is the inner part of my vagina lips on my left hand side burns. And especially burns when I use the restroom. At night I sleep with a cold wash rag between my legs. I do not have insurance right now so I cannot just go to the doctor. What is your suggestion? And thank you in advance ;)

Hello dear
Understand your concern
Burning sensation in the vagina mainly due to UTI or yeast vaginal infection, mixed vaginal infection.
Or it may be due to just chemical burning due to chlorinated water of swimming pool.
For exact diagnosis, examination, urine test and vaginal swab is required.

For yeast infections:
Use vaginal suppository of clotrimazole and clindmycin.
Lactobaciluus orally or vaginally
Maintain proper pelvic hygiene by using Vaginal V plus wash
Wash vagina with warm salted water two-three times per day and apply apple cidar vinegar.

For UTI:
Tablet septran with nitrofurantoin, syrup cital, drink plenty of waters and cranberry juice.
For chemical burn:
Apply neomycine and hydrocortisone ointment, wear pure cotton loose inner wear, warm water sitz bath, avoid perfumed soap and cosmetics.

So consult the local doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment.
Hope this may help you

Contact HCM if further problem occur.
Best regards
