Okay so a few days ago I noticed I had a
yeast infection. I had all the normal
symptoms - Itchyness, burning, and a white
discharge.
But then I woke up last night and my labia
hurt a lot. I went and looked in a mirror
and they were VERY swollen. They also
looked very wrinkly and bumpy and they
normally don't look like that. It hurt a
lot to touch them. I'm not sure if this
normally happens with yeast infections so
im kind of nervous.
Today I got a fever, muscle pains, and
nausea. I don't know if its related to the
infection or not though...
So does this normally happen when a girl
has a yeast infection?
I've looked up the symptoms online and
most websites don't mention swollen
wrinkly labia >_<
Im afraid I might have something worse.
Oh, and im not sexually active yet so its
not an std...

ive never had that with a yeast infection
i would recommend seeing your doctor right

it could be something as small as
irritation but i doubt it

Yeah, I'd definitely go to a doctor right
away - a general practitioner, not a
gynecologist. The fever and other symptoms
are far more serious than your vaginal
ones - though you MIGHT have Pelvic
Inflammatory Disease. Actually now that I
think about that and your symptoms, I'd
get to the ER right away. PID is a
potentially lethal disease that comes
along suddenly and severely.
Yes, any vaginal infection can lead to
PID, as can the use of tampons (though
this is rare). I'd go to a hospital right
away; your life may be at risk!

Yeah, if you have an urgent care program
where you are, that might be a good idea.
Or run to a planned parenthood or
something, most of them take same day
appointments... (that is, if you don't
have insurance or something like that)
otherwise a hospital or try and get in
with your regular doc
