From what you’ve described, your wife is not dealing with a simple “infection.”
Recurrent swelling of the vaginal lips, redness, itching, and repeated small cuts for several months strongly suggest one of three possibilities:
1. Chronic Vulvovaginal Candidiasis (Repeated fungal infection)
– Very common in women
– Causes swelling, burning, itching, and fissures (cuts)
2. Contact Dermatitis / Allergic Reaction
– Caused by sanitary pads, soaps, perfumes, lubricants, condoms, detergents
– The swelling “coming and going” fits this pattern
3. Vulvar Dermatoses (Lichen simplex / lichen sclerosus)
– These conditions cause itching and recurrent cracks
– Needs proper examination to confirm
If this has been happening since August 2024, it means the root cause was never addressed and she needs a structured evaluation now, not random creams or home remedies.
Recommended Tests
Ask her to get the following done:
1. Vaginal swab culture – fungal + bacterial
2. KOH mount for Candida
3. Urine routine
4. If required: Patch test for allergies
5. Blood
sugar (FBS/PPBS) – recurrent fungal infection is common if sugars are high
What she should start immediately (until reports come)
Clotrimazole vaginal cream at night for 7–14 days
Clotrimazole + betamethasone external cream twice daily for 5 days for cuts/itching
Cetirizine 10 mg at night for itching
Use only lukewarm water for washing, no soap, no intimate wash
Switch to cotton underwear and avoid tight clothing
But keep in mind:
This is only temporary relief. Without identifying the real cause, the problem will keep coming back.
Why you should take a direct consultation
This condition needs proper guided treatment, sometimes 4 to 6 weeks and correction of triggers.
Most couples repeat the same mistakes and the problem continues for months.
