Urinary Track Infection, Itching, Red, Swollen Labia. Bladder Infection?

I have an U.T.I. I was diagnosed with it on Sunday. I am no stranger to these. However, this time I have severe itching and a red and swollen labia on top of the infection. I have never had these symptoms with an U.T.I. before. This started before I began my round of antibiotics for the bladder infection . Also, I have had no odor or strange discharge of any kind. Are these symptoms related to the bladder infection?
