Question
A couple days before my period my vagina gets swollen and irritable. Vaginal creams burn when I put them on. This does not happen every time, and always goes away before my period. What is this?
Answer
It could be a number of things--I would recommend you see a Health Care Provider when you are actually having the symptoms.
In the meantime you might avoid panty liners and see if that helps. Sometimes they will cause irritation.
