Swelling In Vaginal Wall. Sores On Labia Majora, Itching, Stinging Urination. What Could These Mean?
Hi, I am a 26 yr old sexually active female. Over the course of the last 3 days I have experienced some swelling on my vaginal wall. This was showed up after having sex until I was no longer adequately lubricated. Just yesterday I noticed the discomfort an swelling had gone down however now I ve noticed there are two very small open sores on my left labia majora . Initially, there was localized itching in this area then some slight stinging upon urination . As of right now the area is slightly swollen, flat and open with a lingering tingling sensation. I m very concerned as to what these symptoms could mean for my health. Please, your professional opinion/advice would be GREATLY appreciated.

Hello
Thanks for the query to hcm.
Since you mentioned that all these symptoms are after sex contact without any lubrication so may be due to .
1 Traumatic injury as this will spontaneously heal within 5-6 days, if not sex during this period .
2 The next reason may be sexual transmitted disease , diagnosis can be can be confirmed by blood examination for VDRL test.
3 Chlamydia trachomatis is another most common cause producing such type of symptoms .Diagnosis can be confirmed by McCoy test.
4 Herpes is another most common cause .
In my opinion as I mentioned above take rest ( avoid sex till sores heal ) , still all these symptoms present consult a gynecologist and get his opinion as physical examination is very important in such type of cases.
Good luck.
