Brief Answer:
Labial swelling

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query to hcm,
The most common reason for swollen labia without any frictional injury locally is likely to be a bartholin cyst formation which can increase in size and is otherwise painless and problem free but can cause difficulty in sexual act and often pressure symptoms.
Hematoma would cause a purplish discolouration of skin and also accompanied pain. If possible please attach a picture of the same in the follow up so that I can assist you better.
