Hello. I'm 24 year old sexually active female and just recently I started suffering from some strange problems.
About four days ago I have noticed that my vulva and area around my genitals is a bit red and swollen.
I didn’t know what could be the cause but I didn’t consider this to be something serious! So, I practically did nothing about it. But after two or three days this redness turned into itchiness.
It's not unbearable in anyway, or so noticeable unless my hand is down there while I'm wiping after going urinating, or during sexual intercourse.
Beside this, I have also noticed that it has a funny smell also. Please tell me what could be the cause?

Hello, I know some facts about this because I had a little experience with it before. First of all, I really doubt it could be something serious so you really don’t have reasons to be worried. Itchiness in most cases is usually a sign of an irritation or infection.
From the description of your symptoms, it is possible that you have a vaginal infection known as bacterial vaginosis.
In most cases it is caused by growth of infective bacteria that normally live in your vagina.
Like I already said, it isn’t anything serous and it can be easily treated but it could be dangerous if you don’t contact your gynecologist as quick as you can for proper evaluation. You will probably get some strong antibiotics which you will use for about 10 days and that’s all.
