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
You probably have recurring yeast infection, you can help yourself a great deal by eating yogurt with active yeast cultures in it every day. Activia is a good choice as it helps to eliminate constipation. Long intercourse sessions tend to change the Ph balance in the vagina; I cured that problem by eating 2 yogurts a day only 100 calories a piece and they are yummy. not giving up on good sex.
I have a problem with the swelling of my lips as many of those who have contributed to this site do. I have not really encountered much swelling on the vaginal walls, but it can become very sore when our sex lasts longer than 15-20 minutes. As I read through the posts it seems like there are very similar syptoms to all of our conditions and I am not completely sure of the origin, but it is very nice to hear real women speaking out this issue too. I do feel like it can cause problems with you mentally. My swelling is on the occasion and usuallly follow or proceed my menstrual cycle. A more common problem that I have that is usually what is accompanied with my sex( which I will admit can be quite rough at times), is a lot of torn or cracked and bleeding skin around my vulva and the lybia majora. This makes it hard to become arroused at the thought of sex because a lot of the times it will only result in pain for me. Some thing that I have learned through my own research is that birth control can affect hormones that make it more difficult for your body to produce the lubrication necessary for sex. However I am not willing to take the risk of not having it. I have only been with one man for the past 2 years and about a half a year into our relationship I began experiencing these problems. I have been tested twice and have come up clean each time. He has been with only me. I havnt found a cure yet, my swelling can range from lasting for hours to atleast a day and a half. It is very uncomfortable and this does put a bit of a strain on our love life. I hope that through solidarity I have maybe been able to help you, I have shared all the information I have discovered so far, I just hope that it can console you in whatever way possible Best wishes.
I just had sex without a condom and now I am really swollen and it really hurts when I sit down,what should I do? Should I leave it to go away on its own or should I go to the doctors? I am 15 years old and this has never happend to me before:/
I have the same problem as everyone else, It's very embarrassing because the left side of my vagina swells up and it hurts to walk, sit down or even close my legs together, it also burns very bad. I tried putting like an ice pack on it to see if the swelling would go down, but it only made it worse. So i took a hot bath and it helped a little, but my vagina still hurts very bad. This has happened with past partners also and even when I've been fingered... I really want it to stop because it is very painful and embarrassing. Help please and thank you! :'C
