What Causes Red Swollen Labia Minora After Having Sex?

My labia minora is red and swollen after having sex and being fingered aggresively this morning. It does not itch, it is just very uncomfortable and difficult to close my legs because of the swelling. I have no idea what this could be. It's never happened before. Help!

Hallow Dear,

From your history, I understand that you had a very rough handling of the genital parts after which your labia minora is swollen. Rough handling of the delicate parts like labia minora and clitoris can cause traumatic inflammation of these organs resulting into their swelling.

You may apply cold ice fomentation to the swollen parts to bring down the oedema. It may require about 48 hours for the oedema to subside. Along with, local application of some non-irritant, non-fragrant, Vera containing body cream will give you soothening effect.

Till you are relieved and about a week later, please avoid any type of sexual plays with your private parts. Also, please keep a close watch on any infection setting in. Any vaginal discharge should be reported to the Gynaecologist. If possible, avoid using underwear to avoid local irritation till you are comfortable.

I hope this helps you.
