vaginal pain and soreness due to rough sex?

[Msblueviolet]

Yesterday I had sex past the point where it was painful. The man that I with has a very high libido and he wants to have sex over and over again. At a certain point I started to get really sore. I should have stopped but I didn't because I was still enjoying our contact. Afterward I was very sore and itchy all day. I woke up this morning and I am still swollen, sore and itchy. I have been using ice and it is helpful. I don't think that I have an infection. Is there any over the counter cream I can use? Is there something I can use besides ice for vaginal pain relif? Thanks in advance for you advice.

You could try some kind of over the counter cream like vagisil or monistat.  They are supposed to relieve itching and I think that they also moisturize the area.  I think they are mainly for yeast infections but the swelling, itching and pain can all be symptoms of yeast infections, so it might help.

Is it okay to use yeast infection medication if you don't have a yeast infection? Can it hurt you?

[Confused8]

The monistat cream (not the yeast infection medicine) and vagisil are not "medicine" for yeast infections.  They just provide relief from the itching etc.  You would not want to use an actual yeast infection treatment (ex. Monistat 3 or Monistat 1 etc.) because you can build up resistant yeast in your body if you use those too much or when you don't have yeast.  The creams are not actually medicine to treat the yeast.  They are just for relief.

have you tries taking a warm bath?  My husbannd and i useto be that way before we were married and i foung that being in the tub helped alot

Thank you for your comment.  I will try a hot shower as I don't have a bath tub.  I am still hoping that someone can reccomend something like a vaginal moisteriser or some kind of cream.  I am looking forward to the sorness going away, and next time we have sex perhap I'll try lubrication, or I'll just stop when it starts to hurt.
