I've been having some discomfort in my vagina, especially when I'm sitting or walking after having protected sex for the first time. It feels sore, especially around the vestibule, and it sometimes hurts when I pee. I noticed two tiny white spots near the sides of my clit, which feels really sensitive and sore too. I've been taking medication for a urine infection, but my vagina and clit still feel uncomfortable, especially when I'm wearing underwear or tight clothes like jeans. Occasionally, I also feel air bubbles. Is this something I should be worried about? What might be causing these symptoms?

use cotton clothes.

I've been experiencing some discomfort with vaginal itching and have noticed rashes in that area. It's also swollen, and I'm really not sure what to do about it. Could you recommend any medicines or ointments that might help with this?

If the itching and swelling are localized to the external area, you can apply clotrimazole (an antifungal cream) or hydrocortisone (a mild anti-inflammatory) externally. These can help reduce itching and swelling.
