What Is The Remedy For The Swollen Right Labia Causing Pain?
For the past 2 days my right labia has been swollen, and incredibly painful and uncomfortable to walk and sit. I am only comfortable laying down with my legs open. I am 21 and sexually active but haven't had sex recently. What should I do? What is it?

Hi
Swollen labia could be due to vaginitis,bacterial or fungal infections, cyst or pus /blood filled abscess.Any history of fever,burning while urination should be ruled out.
Antibiotic course of 5 to 7 days may be required to reduce the infection.Antibiotic ointment can also be topically applied.Large cyst or abscess may require incision and drainage.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
