Swollen Vagina

Ok, I just recently had sex and vagina lips have swollen up, that could be irritation from the sex, ut I got a mirror to look down there, jus to check things out and I see a mysterious little bump, that looks dried out. Then I continue to look around and on the outer layer of my vagina all the way at the bottom I think I see bumps, but then again there's a few of those bumps that are little flabby. Sould I wait acouple of days to if it will go away or should I automatically assume that I have contacted a STD?

bumps might be a symptom of hpv...which is a sexually transmitted disease, you have to see a doctor and have papsmear done to be exactly sure what is wrong. I suggest that you do that immediately because if it is an std you want to take care of it before it escolates and causes anymore discomfort.

When I was pregnant before I woke up on morning and I was swollen down there, it itched and burned when i peed, but i just put some antibiotic cream on it and after about 2 days it went away so I asked my doctor and he said that it was probably just irritated by having sex and I shouldn't worry unless it comes back and stays. I can't tell you what to do with your personal experience but I would ask your doc. just to make sure.

I can not explain those bumbs, it could be an std. I'm sure someone else on here can tell you. I can only suggest that you go to you OB/GYN and get them checked out. You want to be safe. Good luck and hope all goes well!!
