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

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

I'm having the same problem. This happened to me twice already and I can't help but worry. The most recent was last night. I had sex with my boyfriend that i've been with for two years. I'm 99% sure that he's not cheating on me or whatsoever. I must say that I wasnt up for it last night that's why i wasnt that arroused. I was wet at first then i got really dry in the end. He was very persistent thats why even when i was really dry already, he still kept on going. He was very rough on me. Then i felt that my vagina was getting puffy & swollen thats why i decided to continue our business in the shower for me to be a little wet. It helped a little but the puffiness just got puffier afterwards. Its been over 10 hours since then but its still swollen. The last time i had this, the swelling subsided over just a night. Why is it taking a bit longer now? According to past reviews, it might be because i was dry & was not lubed enough? I don't want this to happen again because it makes me feel bad about my sex life & it really is very irritating & uncomfortable when there's puffiness & sworeness down there. What can I do to reduce the swolleness? What should I do for this not to happen ever again?I feel bad about myself.  :cry:

The same thing happened to me more than once but this last time it was different. I don't know how to explain this exactly but that night and all the next day i was like "leaking" some type of fluid. It was so bad that within 5 minutes of putting my jeans on it had completely soaked through. it was almost as if the fluid was just from the swelling and as the fluid would seep out, the swelling would decrease. I may be completely wrong.. but idk!! help please!

I honestly wouldn't worry about this at all ladies, it's caused by being too dry when having intercourse or by the roughness of sex or the position of the penis against the vagina. I'm not a doctor but i have experience dmany gynaecological problems in my lifetime and so recognise this problem. If you have any other problems along with the swelling such as a burning sensation then you probably have a UTI (urinary tract infection), don't be alarmed this is very common and a lot of women including myself experience this quite often. The best advice i can offer for the swelling is cold natural yoghurt or if this grosses you out then anything cold will do but always, always , always urinate after having sex, you won't believe how much of a difference this makes in clearing any possible infection especially if you are prone to UTI's like myself. Anything other than this and you should seek advice from a professional. Hope this helps

I believe it is normal to swell after rough sex. It happens to me. I know i have no STD's because i have been tested multiple times. Swelling after sex is nothing to worry about but burning, itching, etc. is! If it burns "down there", itches, or burns when you pee go get checked! BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY! Usually if it is something like that an antibiotic can be prescribed to cure it! Even yeast infections can be cured with a single pill!
