Very swollen itchy ladybits

Hi all,
I had an emergency c section 5 weeks ago due to a heavy bleed during labour. Had a foul smelling discharge develop a few days post delivery which GP prescribed antibiotics for.

Today I’ve had a throbbing bruise like pain whenever I sit down on my labia and clitoris as well being very itchy. Went to inspect before and my clitoris and labia have swelled right up and look shiny/ bright pink. Also a slight smell but not as horrendous as before.😫

Will go to GP if it hasn’t improved on Monday. Wondering if anyone had experienced this? Wondering if it might be a uti as haven’t been weeing as often.

Any advice appreciated!

Sounds more like thrush than a UTI but if you've recently had an infection I'd want it checked to rule out cellulitis (the pain, red and swollen sounds nasty).
Any discharge?

How are you and your ladybits now @Ali95x?

Thanks all 😊The swelling and pain has went down but still slightly itchy. Will monitor tomorrow and book in with gp if no better.
