Extremely Swollen Labia Minora
by pre_vet, Feb 11, 2009 10:31PM
A couple of days ago during sex i felt a pinch and then burning in my labia, and it was enough to interrupt intercourse. I looked down and almost fainted because my inner labia had started to swell up and continued to swell. I went to ER and by then it was huge, it was the size of a lemon, no joke. They didn't know what it was and sent me home telling me to come back if it hadn't gone away in a few days.
It's been 4 days and is only somewhat better, the swelling has gone down but it's still swollen enough that it pokes out through the outer labias and it is purple and painful. It hurts like hell to walk and sit in class.
I'm terrified becuase i can't find any info on this and i don't know how long it will take to heal or if this will happen again. I know it's not these things:
it's not an allergic reaction, or a sebacious cyst
please, has this happened to anyone else?

Thanks for writing to the forum!
Generally this is due to friction during sex. The labia minora is very sensitive and fragile and richly supplied by blood vessels. Thus this can easily be contused. The contusion will look bluish red as it heals.
However it could also be an infected Bartholin cyst. Please consult a gynecologist for this.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
