Swelling in the vagina following sexual intercourse?

Question

I had sex yesterday and part of my vagina swelled up and this morning it's still swollen. Is there anything you can do like putting a cream or do you just have to wait?

Hello, thank you for your question! A little more vigorous sex can indeed be a little irritating. There is no product you should apply at this time. Avoid using soaps or products on this area for the next few days at least to give it a chance to heal. If you notice that the situation persists or becomes recurrent, you should consult a doctor, purely as a precaution. I hope this has been helpful to you, so please don't hesitate if you have any further questions! Tom Samaha, pharmacist
