What Causes Soreness And Swelling In Vagina Post Intercourse?

Hi I was wondering if you could help me, I had intercourse 2 weeks ago and ever since my vagina has been extremely swollen and sore. I wouldn t say it was itchy but it s very uncomfortable, I ve not had any other symptoms other than the fact it feels unusually lunricaited more than usual. Could this be a sign of pregnancy or an sti? Any advice would be extremely appreciated as I m quite worried

First of all I will say symptoms of soreness and swelling in vagina along with excessive lubrication are not related with pregnancy or STI. What I can say in your case is mostly some sort of vaginal infection. For swelling you can take tab brufen 8-12 hourly with some antibiotics after an opinion of expert. You have to maintain hygiene of your private part either by simple washing with soap water or you can use v-wash vaginal gel for local application.
