Could some swelling in the vaginal area be caused by wearing a thong or could it be a yeast infection or something else?

It could be anything, get tested for infections and stop wearing a thong. Going commando is healthiest (not with tight pants though). If you wear panties always wear cotton. Boy shorts are very fashionable right now.

What the heck is a water infection? If you meant bladder or yeast infection then it's possible.

What is the medical term meaning condition also known as vaginal thrush or a yeast infection?
The vagina naturally contains bacteria and yeast, an acidic pH kills 'bad' bacteria and allows 'good' bacteria to thrive - some of this 'good' bacteria produces hydrogen peroxide to keep yeast under control. Sometimes vaginal pH and flora can be thrown off balance, making it easier for yeast to multiply - for example if a woman uses soap to wash her vulva, this can change pH so cause imbalance in vaginal flora. Yeast is also a fungus so likes warm moist environments, thus things like women wearing tight synthetic clothing can increase risk of developing a yeast infection, and yeast like sugar so a high-sugar diet can increase yeast infections too.
What does it mean to have really thick vaginal discharge?
The presentation of thick, white, sometimes lumpy vaginal discharge is usually considered a yeast infection. Yeast infections are common, and do not mean that you are unclean. They simply are a result of an excess of bacteria that are normally present in the vagina which have overgrown and multiplied. The bacteria thrive on a moist, warm environment. Wearing cotton underwear will help keep the area cooler, but will not make the infection go away. You must see your doctor, who will take a swab and tell you weather or not you have a yeast infection. Rarely these symptoms are a sign of other problems, but the yeast infection itself can be treated easily, once diagnosed, by an over-the-counter medication.
