My boyfriend of two years and I had some fun sexual play over the weekend. On Monday, I experienced a bruise sensation on the outside labia portion of my vagina. It began to swell in the evening hours and then it started to hurt from the swelling if I was putting any kind of pressure onto it (sitting, laying awkwardly, sometimes even the way I walked)...
It doesn't hurt if I pee, only if the labia itself is moved (like if I clench my muscles down there or squeeze my legs inward). I highly, highly doubt I have and STD as I've known all my lovers to be clean and the current relationship I have is positively clean. It seems completely external and not internal. The pain is moderate and annoying as hell. I've tried ibuprofen but it doesn't seem to help the swelling go down. Also, it's only on the left outer labia, swollen outside as well as inside the vaginal walls. But again... NOT in the vagina.
My suspicions are that it is bruised or perhaps I popped some kind of blood vessel. My questions are: Does anyone know specifically what this is? How can I ease the pain? How can I ease the swelling? What do I do to help myself?
I think I've had a bruised labia before, where it was slightly sensitive to touch in a specific spot... but it's never been this swollen and painful before.
