Hello Doctor,
I've been experiencing some discomfort down there, and I'm noticing redness and swelling around my vaginal area. It’s also a bit itchy, and I’m worried it might be an infection. Could this be something serious, and what should I do to treat it?
Hello
1. Based on the symptoms you're describing, it's important to get examined as there are several types of infections that can cause redness, swelling, and itching. The specific type of infection needs to be identified through some tests, typically by analyzing a sample of vaginal discharge.
2. If it's an STI (sexually transmitted infection), it's crucial that your partner also gets tested and treated to prevent reinfection. I recommend scheduling an appointment for an examination so we can determine the cause and start the appropriate treatment.
Thanks
