Q: vaginal irritation

I have had burning and swelling in the vaginal area. I thought that I had a uti but a urine test showed no bacteria. I thought that it might be a yeast infection but I used the yeast medication and there is no change in the symptoms. I am over 50 and have had a hysterectomy and have not been sexually active for several years. I seem to run a low grade fever when I am tired and the symptoms are extremely uncomfortable. I am not able to go to a dr. at this time but am looking for some relief. Any suggestions. Thanks

I would definitely go to a doctor. I know you said you aren't able to go at this time, but is there any way you can clear a spot in your schedule to get there? If you are having burning and swelling and do have some kind of an infection, it is important that you get it treated sooner rather than later.

Have you been having any unprotected sex lately? There is always the chance that it may be an std. Make sure to have your doctor test for both bacterial infections as well as stds if this is the case.
