Hello,
Swelling in perineum can be due to trauma, congestion or allergy to ulcer garments or sanitary pads. I suggest you to change to cotton fabric and avoid using sanitary pads for a while. In case the swelling does not disappear then there trauma or congestion can be the cause. Kindly consult your gynecologist in that case.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
