Extremely swollen labia minora, will it go away on it's own?

My boyfriend went a little rough with oral sex last night and my left labia minora is very swollen and bulgy to a point it's keeping my labia majora opened. Now it looks like i have a ball coming out. (sorry for the details) I have never had this happen before, it has been 12 hours and i don't think the swollen have gone down. it doesn't hurt when i go to the washroom or anything nor does it itch. but when i close my legs it feels uncomfortable and i can't wear panties cause it doesn't feel comfortable when it's rubbing against something. Will this go away on it's own?

I had a total hysterectomy and liposuction on  my stomach and flanks this past Tuesday.  My labia is severely swollen and looks deformed.  Its making me very depressed, on top of all the pain from recovery.  Is this normal?  How long will it last?  What can I do, to help it heal?

It goes down in  a day or two, it's just friction burn due to lack of lubrication or roughness. Try a hot bath followed by a cold compress. As for pants, I find tight ones, that pull everything in, and can't move when on to cause irritation are best, but that's down to personal reference.
