Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Dear swelling of the vagina common in pregnancy may be due to

1. An increased blood flow in the vaginal area can cause mild to moderate swelling.
2.Veins in the uterus get compressed during pregnancy.
3.A swollen vagina during pregnancy could also be a result of bacterial infections such as bacterial vaginosis or yeast infections such as candidiasis.
4.hormonal fluctuations cause swelling.
5.Poor hygiene or sexually transmitted diseases such as gonorrhea or trichomoniasis could also be one of the causes of a swollen vagina during pregnancy.
6.Also, your bath, body and skin care products could contain irritants. Using these products during pregnancy could lead to an inflamed vagina. 7.Constipation may treated with high fibre diet and regular exercise.

If symptoms do not improve, please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
