Swollen Vagina Lips

Okay, so pretty much anytime my boyfriend and I start doing anything sexual after about 10 minutes or so my right vagina lip swells up, sometimes its worse than others, but usually it stops us from continuing with what we had started. I don't feel that we are being rough, by any means, and there usually isn't any penetration involved as of late. Its generally just hand to vagina contact. Does anyone know why this is happening to me. I'm on birth control so we don't use condoms, and we were both virgins before meeting eachother, so I know its not an STD. I just want help without having to go to the doctor, because my OBGYN in far from my home. Suggestions or answers? Thanks. :]

OMG I get the same thing, when having sex my left vagina lip swells up....not all of it just a small section of it, it makes sex really hurt and sometimes i have to stop. Im on the pill too and dont use condoms as theres no point...weve both been checked and we don't have any STD's. Sometimes we have quicky's and he doesn't even touch me down there and it stil happens. I have been to the doctors a gynacologist you name it i have been and i'm so angry and SHOCKED that NON OF THEM CAME UP WITH ANY ANSWERS!!!!!
This problem has been with me for about two years now and it's tearing our relationship apart as sex isn't great for me because of it.
When i seeked help they all said the same thing....maybe it's a reaction to something.....i don't have any reactions to any substance, i use aqueaus cream which is the mildest cream you could ever use,(which they suggested) and i even wash with it. So it can't be that as it doesn't swell when i wash my vagina with it only when i have sex.
they say maybe it's because theres too much friction.....but it's not because no matter how much lube we use i still get it.
They say maybe it's  a STD.....but ive been tested for all STD's about three times by different people and even had an aids test.....they all come back clear!!!
Please help me too, what ever you find let me know cause i really want to come to the bottom of this and try to help prevent it from happening. Maybe it's cancer, maybe it's another disease?
I don't know but im desperate for an answer.

I was going to say the samething pmsobx did. Sounds like a reaction to something. I don't know if you have tried to pleasure yourself or not but that is were I would start. If you do not have any problems on your own you can then start working on what could be on your boyfriends hands that could cause the problem.

Could be several things.  My first thought was, does he have something on his hands that could cause a reaction?  Don't know why it is only on one side though.  Have him wash and really rinse his hands next time.  Maybe he has a cologne on his hands?
