Suggest Treatment For Swollen And Sore Perineum?

My perineum is swollen and sore.
I have been with my boyfriend for only a few days. Yesterday morning I noticed that it burnt when I went to the bathroom. So I felt a little down there and noticed that I was swollen. I took a mirror and looked and my Perineum is swollen all the way to inside my vagina. I don't know exactly what has caused this, but it hurts to even sit down sometimes.

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain seems that swollen and sore perineum can occur due to causes like bacterial or fungal infection in the area while can also be due to traumatic injury caused due to vigorous intercourse causing injury to the delicate Perineal area that is a delicate area present between the vagina and anus..
I would suggest you to do cool compresses in the area and apply a combination of antibiotic and antifungal ointment along with numbing ointment containing Lignocaine as it will relieve pain and discomfort..
Abstain from intercourse until it heals..
In case if there is no improvement in a week consult a local gynaecologist and get evaluated..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
