Ive been needing to pass urine quite regularly, more than usual. And this morning i woke up with an irritation feeling 'down there'. I then noticed my inner vaginal lips are hard and slightly swollen, and what seems to be two red sores, one on each side of inner lips, nearer the top by the uretha. They aren't painful or itchy but I can tell its not a normal feeling and im extremely worried its an STI or cuts that have turned infected. Everything has seemed fine before this, apart from passing urine a lot
Obviously, the first step in figuring out if this might be sexually transmitted infection or urinary tract infection is to check if your partner has similar problems, or is there a reason for you to suspect that someone might gave you the infection. But I'm afraid that either answer is correct, you still will need to see a doctor because infection has to be treated and treated with proper antibiotics.
