What Causes Itching And Swelling Around The Vagina?

Two days ago, I began noticing a slight discomfort. By Tuesday, it got to the point where I had to walk wide-legged in order to not feel as much pain. Everytime I sat down in certain positions, the pain was there. There was also a white, milky discharge, but I don t know if this is considered a symptom of whatever is happening, since I usually see white discharge a week before my period and of course, it is a week before my period. I notice a lump underneath my left outer labia, and there was also itching on my left inner labia but only if i touched it. There is only discomfort in the left side and it is slightly swollen. I figured it could be a yeast infection seeing as up until I started notcing that something s wrong, I used soap to clean my vagina, but the discharge doesn t match up. I also shaved on Monday before the symptoms became a nuisance. I stopped wearing tight bottoms, and I also haven t worn underwear since I don t have any cotton underwear. I also used the apple cider vinegar method, and the symptoms have gotten easier to deal with, but the bump is really scaring me, especially since it s only on one side. What could be happening?

Hi,

* The discharge per vagina may be associated with fungal or bacterial infection.
* The swelling involving one side of labia can be an inflammatory lesion, developing Bartholin cyst or others.
