A member asked:

I have noticed swelling inside my vaginal opening, it looks like it is swollen shut, what could be the reason for that?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Many things: Nabothian cyst (very painful), vaginitis (yeast infection, friction from sex-undewear), herpes, swollen shot is not normal., get examined.
