Swollen vaginal lips

My boyfriend and I haven't seen eachother for a few months! About a week ago we saw eachother again for the first time . We have sex now All the time and now my vaginal lips are really swollen. I wouldn't have noticed it unless he said something but now they hurt a little when I touch them, is that just from having a lot of sex? Will it go away? Or do I have to go to the gyno? I'm out at school and i don't have a gyno out here and i fell a little uncomfortable going to see the male gyno on campus!! Please help!!

So I'm 16 and I have all the same symtoms except I'm not itchy or dry so i know it's not a yeast infection. So I told my mom and she talked to my doctor: WHAT MY DOCTOR TOLD ME:  "have her try some sitz baths (6tsp of baking soda in warm water above her bottom for 10 min 2-3 times per day). If the urine continues to sting despite the sitz baths or the swelling is worsening then we will want her to come in and give us a urine sample or if she starts complaining of abdominal pain/vomiting."

Me and my boyfriend haven't had sex for awhile and we had sex today, first off he started fingering me then it started to hurt so I asked him to spit on his hand (for more lubrication) and it felt alittle better, so then we started to have sex as soon as we started it hurt again I didn't say anything, so after half an hour I went to the bathroom to pee and it hurt really bad! So I took a mirror to look down there and my left vagina lip was swollen red and puffy, this has never happened before I don't know what too do somebody please help me!!

I am a very fit young lady. My boyfriend and i are both working out freaks. we are not sexually active but are orally active is what you would call it. For some reason I am now having some red swelling around my vaginal lips and on the inside it just feels swollen. It is also hard to just sit up straight without feeling the pressure. I pee normal and consume the right amount of water I just can't possibly think of what I could possibly do to avoid this problem. And the last time he did oral was four days ago so I don't even know if its from that

I am a virgin, and it's happening to me :( I was with my boyfriend the other night and he performed oral, ever since then my vagina lips have been swollen and red, slowly getting worse. What I've finally decided to do was get an ice pack and place it there on top of my underwear, it's been helping and the swelling has decreased tremendously. My advice is to try that and if it continues to go to the gyn..

Lol it's due to friction... And a lot of four play and even if you think it's limubrucated (your cumming a lot) you are mistaken... A lot of four play and friction to this... And in some cases allergies... But I don't use condoms and I am checked for STDs, I have contraception the implamon.. The rod in my arm... But normal for a lot of four play and friction and not enough lube...

It could be an allergic reaxction to having a dog or car around. With all the touching that happens down there, if you are at all allergic to pets, and your boyfriend doesn't wash his hands after touching anything in the house, then you can get very swollen. It does''t get itchy, just swollen and it can take 1 hour to and entire day to go back down to normal. Just uncomfortable, really.

The best treatment for something for anything swollen would be to rest it and apply cold compresses while lying down. Don't try to walk or exercise as this will aggravate the swollen area because you will be applying friction and making that same redness and swelling get bigger. Much like a swollen or fat lip on your face, what you want to do is make sure nothing comes into contact with it. No kissing, no exfoliating, and definitely no rubbing.

It's best to refrain from sexual activity until the swelling is completely gone because if the swelling gets worse, it can lead to infection if the area gets damaged or cut. Don't apply any creams unless advised by a physician and if the swelling does not come down after 24 hours, check with you physician.

Okay, I have been away from my boyfriend for almost a month now. When we're toqether, we have sex way more than often. But since we've been apart, I haven't had sex at all. About 3days aqo I tried phone sex with my boyfriend. After my climax, I took a shower and felt irritated in the vaqinal area. Now for the past 2days my vaqinal lips are swollen & they're sensitive to the touch. I'm worried.!!

Me and my boyfriend lately have been having alot of sex and i mean... 8/9 times a week or more, I have noticed now when being entered I have some pain on the outside of my hole, after a while during sex it goes away and i enjoy it more, But today I noticed when trying to have sex i was extremely tight we stopped intercourse and i went to inspect myself to find not only was i not lubricated in anyway but I am swollen on my walls it makes it impossible to have sex or even pleasure myself, Is this because of to much sex???

well me and my best friend had sex whilst we were in Austria as its legal for us to have sex there. he's 18 and im 15, i was a virgin, he wasnt. i trust him completely. im on the pill so we didnt use condoms and after a few climaxes my inner labia started to swell into a red ball about the size of an apricot. it got sore and inflamed, i didnt want to tell him cos i was embarrassed, so i just went to sleep and in the morning i went to the toilet and it was still swollen. i peed and my pee was cloudy but the swelling shrunk as i peed, we were then fine to have sex after that and i've not had that problem since
