Vaginal swelling
So I'm a virgin. I'm 17 and my boyfriend fingers me almost every week, last few times he's fingered me my vagina gets so swollen, swollen shut, twice the normal size. It's been scaring me. I heard it could be because I'm too dry but while he's fingering me I can hear the juices so I don't think I'm too dry.. I also heard because of the roughness but he's been rough before and it never got swollen. Before I see him I put lotion on myself and I'm thinking it's the chemicals but I'm so unsure. It seriously kills. I'm not even kidding it was almost 3 times the size of my normal size, and it takes a couple days to go down normally, but this time it's taking forever. I'm in so much pain but I have no one to talk to. I wish I knew what was going on so I can prevent it from happening again. I have Motrin 800 for my knee problem I've been taking to put down the swelling but I don't like taking pills. I heard girls should buy lube but I don't wanna go through all of that. I seriously don't even know what to do anymore.
I have this same problem. When me and my partner have sex I find that the it is so sore, like friction burns (even when lubricated) and this leads to me near enough crying! Even when using his fingers, the pain is horrible! I get swollen, redness, the vagina itself closes over. I have been diagnosed with thrush and your complaints sound exactly like mine. Go to your doctor & get checked out hun. Xxxx
It could be the chemicals. Never ever put anything down in your vaginal area that is not designed for that. If you are hearing the juices, you are probably not too dry and therefore are unlikely to need lube. You would have always hurt (even before this swelling) if you were too dry.
However, it could also be that he needs to cut his nails or is even not keeping them or his hands clean (or both). Make sure he always washes his hands and inspect his nails. If his nails are too long, they can also cause issues with swelling if he accidentally scratches you.
Either way, I would take a break from letting him finger you until you are healed. He could always touch you without having to go near your vulva if you must involve yourself in sexual activity.
