For about a week now I have had a swollen vulva and pain, discomfort, and mild itching. The inside of my vagina is red, redder than normal, and I have brown discharge when I wipe myself after using the restroom. My friend told me that I might have a yeast infection, but then again I am unsure. The smell is a little stronger than it normally is, but it's not a fishy odor. Could someone please help me figure out what this might be and what I should do? Thanks.
Sounds like a yeast infection. Do you have a women's clinic near you? If you aren't 100% sure that it is a yeast infection, you will want to get an ob/gyn visit to determine the cause. It will not go away by itself....
