Virgin with swollen vagina lips and severe itching

Hi! I'm in my early 20s and never engaged in intercourse. My vaginal lips have been bigger and feel swollen for 2 days and it really itches down there. (I don't really know about the anotomy so please bare with me)I also looked with a mirror and when I part the lips I noticed the inside are white, which I'm sure isn't normal. Please help!!

It could be yeast infection.....not an STD...you better see a gynecologist.

Yeast infection occurs in virgins as well because it is not sexually related. It has to do with changing PH balance inside your vagina and fungal overgrowth.

I agree with Mayo. It sounds like a Yeast Infection. As aforementioned, this is not an STD. Yeast naturally occurs in the vagina, but when it multiplies it can change the pH of your vagina (which is very acidic) to cause itching and painful urination.

Go to your nearest drug store and get some Monistat 3. I find that the three day stuff works better than the One Day stuff.

If that doesn't clear it up, call your gynecologist.
