    What can you use to treat a swollen vagina having sex
    Me and my boyfriend had sex, a day after my vagina got really swollen, red, and very sore. Can you tell me what it might be and how I treat it?

    To treat it would take knowing what caused the problem. Unfortunately, there can be a lot of causes.

    Has this happened every time you have had sex with him? If not, what is different between the events?

    Possibilities include: If you use condoms, it could be a reaction to the spermicide/lubricant or the material used to make the condom. It could be rough or grinding sex causing bruising. It could be an infection (such as a yeast infection) you weren't aware of having was aggravated. It could be a reaction to something on someone's hands.

    If this is a reoccurring problem or the symptoms don't seem to be going away or are getting worse, contact your doctor and get a check-up.

    I would second what Cat said about going to the doctor (a gynecologist), and she had some very good questions for you to answer so we can better help you.

    I would highly suggest an ice pack! It should help the sore feeling immediately and help the swelling go down. A pillow in between your legs will help the icepack stay in place. I wouldn't leave it there for more than 20 min at a time. Hope this helps.

    DO NOT put tea tree oil or Voltarin rapid on it. Wow that was painful! Go to the doctor, it's probably a yeast infection and you can get some (soothing not painful) fungal cream for it and antibiotics from doctor if necessary. It is really uncomfortable and I found it better to wear tighter(not too tight) underwear to keep pressure on and a skirt or loose pants. Hope this helps!

    Missed it , if it was said or asked, was this extremely rough sex ? Was there enough lube or did he start too soon ?

    Was anything different this time, brand of condoms, gels, or oils,

    But from STD, to infection, to allergic reactions, it could be anything
