Hello and welcome to HCM,
Soreness, itching and swelling in the genital tract is suggestive of infection.
Fungal infection is more likely since itching accompanied fungal infection.
Miscarriage can predispose to genital infections.
I suggest you to get a vaginal swab and send it for micro-biological examination.
Micro-biological examination will detect the infectious agent.
Identification of infectious agent will be followed by anti-microbial treatment.
Till the time the infection is untreated, do not practice unprotected sex.
Thanks and take care
