Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My labia minoroa is very swolled and protruding to the point it is uncomfortable to walk or wear underwear. I noticed the pain and swelling immediately after intercorse and i m a little freaked out as to what is happening because i ve never seen so swollen and it stick out so much. What is happening? I have no sti s or other sexually transmitted disease. I have been with the same guy for a year and a half. Please help!

Hi Thank you for asking HCM. I have gone through your query. Labia is a very sensitive part. Harsh or violent sex can give some injury and cause swelling. Yeast infection is another possibility. Avoid soaps and irritants to wash the area. Use saline or warm water for washing. If condition persist then a local examination by gynecologist or GP and a swab test should be done. Applying creams with combination of corticosteroid like hydrocortisone and anti fungal like clotrimazole will be helpful also. Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear. Thanks.
