Swollen inner labia during and after sex

you are rude. clearly she knows her body...as does the other women on this forum... the point of the post is that this swelling is unusual.

but what do you do about this problem in the mean time? 

Thanks for taking the time to explain to "us girls" about our parts that you don't even have. Your response actually has nothing to do with the question. This was obviously an extreme case of swelling, not just from arousal. Stick to advising your own sex, m***n.

hi I am 22yrs, I am married for four years now an at first our sex life was great. For the pass 3 mths now I have been noticing that. While having sex my inner labia swells an burns a lot. I also notice some watery whitish thing come out without sex. If anyone know what is it please let me know as soon as possible because we want to start trying for a baby and I am scared that this may be a problem for me.

i have this same problem. i know i don't have any std's because i was just recently checked at my annual exam. however, i get very swollen afterwards to the point that it hurts so bad i could cry & sometimes do. which makes having sex almost impossible. even though i want to, i hardly ever do because i know how bad it will hurt which just upsets my partner. he doesn't know how bad it hurts and thinks i'm just "not in the mood" when really i am but i can't do it because of how bad it hurts me. it does feel like a lack of lubrication because it's hard to get him inside in the beginning. however, when we use lube, it does make it easier to get inside but it is still so painful afterwards that i could almost cry. so i'm at a loss and don't know what to do to fix this problem! i want to make him happy and also make myself happy but i can't get intimate with this problem.

and i would like to say that i know exactly how female parts work and have had this same partner for the past 9 years. i never had this problem until about two years ago and it happens on and off. for almost a year it would be so painful afterwards that i could cry. then it stopped and didn't hurt at all. now it hurts again and for the past 5 months or so, i hardly ever get intimate because of this problem. but it has nothing to do with blue balls or any natural process of female parts. because it is an UNUSUAL problem and never occurred before. there may be and sometimes it is normal for there to be a small amount of swelling or pain afterwards or during sex. however, it is NOT normal for there to be a severe amount of pain and swelling. and that is what we are talking about. 

Obviously, we as women know what happen to our own bodies during sex. We would not be seeking out help if it was normal. We know our own bodies well enough to know when something isn't right, and we have come here looking for help, not ridicule from some know-it-all man.
I have been experiencing this same problem, and any REAL advice would be greatly appreciated.

just an assumption: your man is probably circumcised meaning he has no natural lubricant from foreskin. intercourse might be making your vagina raw/irritated so use a slippery lube like an oil. i wouldnt use anything besides "vagina friendly oils" as others can clog your sebaceous glands (the little bumpy skin area around your clit) and make it look like pimples and turn it red. just a couple you can use are grapeseed oil, my personal favorite, coconut oil, jojoba oil, even olive oil works well, i dont recomment vegetable oil, baby oil, or canola oil as these can clog pores on your sensitive vagina skin and anything scented can cause a bad reaction and smelly vag later... hope that helps. ENJOY!

i ALSO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM BUT THIS HAPPENS WHEN HE SPERMS INSIDE AND CONTINUES WITH THE INTERCOURSE THATS WHEN I BECOME BRUSED AND BURNS ON THE SIDES OF MY INNER PART. I BECOME WET, AND ENJOY INTERCOURSE BUT WHEN WE DONE AND I MAYBE GO TO PEE THAT'S WHEN I FEEL PAIN ON BURNT AREAR'S AND I LYK INTERCOURSE AND THIS IS FRUSTRATING BECUASE I HAVE TO WAIT OR A WEEK OR SO TO HEAL FIRST I AM STARTING TO BE SCARED TO HAVE INTERCOURSE NOE

I know exactly how you feel. This is the first time it's happened to me and it's so painful. I literally couldn't wee as I was in so much pain. It hurts when I sit down a d when I walk. I'm going to the doctors as it scared me. I also felt sick after it. It's good to know I'm not alone as looking at the others posts it does seen common. I think the swelling is from dryness and when you orgasam. Once I've been to the doctors and will write another post :)

Not sure about the other females on here but my swelling does not go down for almost 24 hours and i do not have an std. I just want a solution to reduce the swelling quicker with out having to always "take it slow"

What? How many days after does it take for the swelling to cease? One day? two days?, a couple of hours?

If the sex is that painful, she's probably not climaxing.

If it's candida, will it show up on a yeast culture? Mine came back negative. So I'm not sure what to do?

What if the swelling goes down but your inner lips are not the same as before (i.e. are longer) and never go back.
