What Causes Discharge With Swollen Vagina During Pregnancy?

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...i am in third trimester and went to hospital because I felt something come out of my vagina while peeing and didn t see it , for a few seconds I smelt differently, not bad just differently. the NP there took a swab and analyzed it saying that it isn t BV and that according to her experience that it looked like yeast. However, it appeared that due to that she decided not to analyze further I think. Now it is about 6 days later and after scratching one side of my vagina where it crevices with my leg, I see an oval sore about one inch long that is swollen and sensitive to moisture. When she showed me the test tube of what the specimen looked like I saw a thin milky liquid with a touch of gray in it . A few days prior I had a day of discharge that was so bright yellow it was that of egg yolk. I also noticed sometimes a trickly down my thigh on the same side of the boil of the same looking liquid she got from the swab of my cervix. Any suggestions on analysis of this, was she thorough enough, does just yeast sound accurate, no fever, no clumpy discharge. THANKS

Hi,
Thanks for the query. I understand your concern.
In 3rd trimester, vaginal discharge increases than before..vagina itself also bulges a bit because of low decent of the baby.The discharge is clear, there is no itching / burning.
This differs from your symptoms. The yellow, milky white discharge & associated itching( which has caused vaginal swelling) ,, suggest a mixed vaginal infection.You should visit a gynecologist, get vaginal swab pathological test done .. followed by specific treatment ( which will contain- Metranidazole, antibiotic, Vaginal pessaries ).It is essential to cure the infection before child birth.
Thanks.
