I've have a minor itch in my vagina and vulva for a few days. There is also a bit of swelling at the opening of my vagina. I have no abnormal discharge. From what I've read, I can't determine if it a yeast infection, another sort of bacterial infection, or a possible STI.

This is the second time this has happened in the past 6 months or so. Last time, I thought it was just from having a bit too much rough intercourse. I asked my clinician, and she agreed, and my pap smear turned out normal.

This time, the itching occured a few days after I had intercourse with my boyfriend, but it wasn't rough at all.

I also recently found out that someone i was with a long time ago gave someone else hpv, which has given me stress, which could have perhaps triggered the inflammation in my vagina. I just called the gyn office but they don't have any openinings until next week.

Problem is I'm going away all next week with my boyfriend.
I haven't told him anything yet, because I don't want to worry him until I hear from a doctor that there really is something something to worry about. I've been with him for almost a year now, so I fear that if there is anything wrong with me that it is too late to protect him. :-(

I'm I just paranoid?
Advice?

Thanks for listening.
