Have Been Sexually Active. Why Is Vagina Swollen After Itching?

Hi, I have been sexually active for about 2 years now & until recently nothing was wrong. I had gotten my period on time, like normal, then afterwards, my vagina was very swollen. My labia minora was very swollen, and kind of raw feeling. It hurt really bad, & itched like crazy. The swelling went down & it felt fine, but when i had sex, it burned like something i ve never felt. Whats wrong with me?spencher.
