A member asked:

I had sex for the first time yesterday & we used protection. it swelled up a bit yesterday and it still hurts today, except it itches. why?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probable yeast : After first intercourse some swelling and irritation is common. The itching can come from spread of a vaginal yeast infection to the outer area of the vagina, or perhaps a reaction to the lubricant on the condom. If it does not subside in a day or two, see a gynecologist.
