Brief Answer:
May be infection

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing..
I understand your concern..

As there is a swelling, this could be an infection.. Only after pelvic examination the cause of swelling can be determined..

Get a swab done.. Since there is no discharge or itching in the area, you can use a antibacterial cream after consulting your doctor.. Then switch over to other medication depending on the swab report.. Take warm sitz bath twice daily.. Avoid intercourse and masturbation till the swelling heals completely.. If it is an infection, treat the sexual partner also..

Hope I have answered your query.. Feel free to ask any doubts.. Good day..
