From Blood to Worse

OK, I have an infection in my labia. For a few days now my labia have been tender and as of yesterday I have areas of swelling. Today I've got pus.

I sent pictures and a description of my problems to Dr Meltzer's office and later called. I was called back by a Dr Jennifer Shaw. She told me I have an infection. She recommends sitz baths 3-4 times a day (or treatment with warm compresses in lieu of a sitz bath) and has prescribed a 10-day course of Cipro.

I am so anxious to get back to exercising and this is one obstacle standing in my way. I can't wait for all of this to clear up!

  • Hello Nicole,

    You might consider going without undies and pads when possible. This helps keep your bottome drier, cooler and less favorable for stuff to grow. It works for me.

    Heal Fast :)

its best night and day, to make you everybody but
yourself - means to fight the hardest battle which any
human being can fight, and never stop fighting."
