What Causes Swollen Vagina During Pregnancy While On Iron Tablets?
Hi, i have been taking iron tablets and i have found that it has made it harder to poo, causing me to strain. When i finished on the toilet, i noticed that my vagina was swollen (lips etc). I am also pregnant. Do you know why this happened? Please help!

Oral irons can cause constipation, that is a well known side effect. The Vaginal lips feel swollen most probably due to your pregnancy.
