See your OB provider: Giving birth is traumatic for vaginal and perineal tissue as well as external genitalia. This trauma can cause bruising, swelling, bleeding because the tissue has been stretched and is very fragile. You may also have a vaginal infection such as a yeast infection causing a lot of inflammation. Hormonal changes may also contribute. See a doctor for an exam, tests, and effective treatment options.
