Vaginal Swelling after sex

Ive been having the problem of when i have sex with my boyfriend i find that afterwards i am really swallon and my vagina walls really swell up badly. ive tried to take things slower using more lubricant and it doesn't seem to work. i have very sensitive skin which when scratched or bumped swells up a lot making a small scratch look really bad. i though maybe this had something to do with why it swells so bad. if anyone else has suffered from anything like this please get back to me and let me know what your suggestions would be or what worked for you. As its a growing problem for me and takes a good few days before i feel comfortable down there again. Thanks x x

Are you using protection?  You said there is a small scratch there?  It could be that you have a yeast infection or herpies (herpes).  Of just plain old irritation from friction.  Have you had any other partners? if you have did this happen when you were with them?  Has your partner had other partners? Has he been tested for STD's?

I bring my wife to multiple orgasms and she swells so much that it scares her. I believe
that the blood just doesnt go away that quickly. we use cool cloths or onetime a ice pack. the doctor told us to slow down. which isnt going to happen but i hope this helps

No i didnt mean that there was a small scratch there i meant that my skin is reallt sensitive so say i got a scracth on my arm it would swell up looking worse than it is! and yes it has happend with all past partners. we have both been tested for STD and the tests have come back fine. So we use protection only sometimes. i looked at another forum and there were quite a lot of other girls that this happens to. but my best bet is to book and appointment with my doctors i think. it just all seems a little embarrassing to talk about to ur GP.

Hi.

I have the same problem as you do. Everytime me and my boyfriend have a sexual intercourse, my vaginal lips swell up mostly on the left side. It is sort of  hard swelling and its painful to seat down or sleep on the side. It goes away in a day but has affected my relationship and my sex life. Everytime my boyfriend tries to enter my vagina...i get paranoid and always think if i will swell up after the sexual intercouse. I only had 1 sexual partner in all my life and it only started after 2 years of being together, before this i suffered with a pain while urinating and also found out im allergic to soap as this makes me itch down below really badly! I have done alot of research and read stories that a similar to mine and it seems like it's CANDIDA (THRUSH) which affects alot of women in their life time for no paticular reason. Its easy to treat the problem as you can get 1 tablet to take by mouth and cream for the vaginal area. I hope this helps...and if you havent heard about candida then i suggest its important to check it out..if the problems do carry on then go and see a gynocoligist. Thats what im planning to do. All the Best XXXX

Being swollen has to do with rough sex and not enough lubercation, this causes a lot of friction and makes you swell. Also if you had sex with an unnotticed yeast infection this can cause irritation and results in swelling and also a burning sensation. I've gone through this a few times with my boyfriend and have gone to the doctors. Don't worry alot of this is common, you usually don't hear much about it because it is awkwardly embarassing. Try water-based lubercation and make sure you are clear of infections before engaging in sexual intercourse!!

I have had the same problem.
I had sex with my boyfriend yesturday. and he pulled out to take a rest and then when we tried again he couldnt enter. i mean i just got checked last thursday to i know i dont have anything. and we have had sex before that so obviously he dont have anything. but i dont know it is really embarrissing to not be able to get it in when you already have. And it only started happening like after six months. and it is just weird it feels like there is something wrong with me. and yes he does finger me and he all of a sudden has nails. and it does hurt when he does it but at first its a combo of sensation and hurt but then it just hurts. and last night i wanted to cry. Could it be his nails.? Could it be our roughness.? Please help. i dont want this to ruin my sex life.
Please and thank you.
I would love to hear all responses
