hi guys, slightly embarrasing but-
i thought i had the start of thrush yesterday, bit sore down there and a bit itchy. Went and a had a bath last night and took a mirror and had a look and my left in labia is FAT! it looks like a big fatty earthworm!!!
im still itchy today so have been continuing with the thrush treament, is the swelling related or possibly something else?
have a docs appointment this arvo just thought i'd check if anyone has been through something similar

down there tends to get abit swollen during pregnancy. I would assume it is thrush. let me know how the doc appointment goes

sounds like varicose veins perhaps?? it normal with extra pressure to get swollen

Yep I've had that from Thrush! It was also hot down there too... not pleasent.
If it doesn't go down in a couple of days though def ask your Dr.

I'm having the same trouble right now but both sides, I'm pretty sure it's thrush, sore, itchy, hot burning, swollen

ive got the same thing, mine isnt sore or itchy, just swollen, i do however have hemeroids they come and go, but my girly bits are always swollen and even more so after DTD.

Oh yeah I about the heamroids too...but sadly I think I've forgotten what DTD is like!
