A member asked:

I recently had sex and my vagina is swollen to the point where it looks like a little ball. it's purple and hurts to the touch. it's also bruised.

Depends: I don't know how recently you had intercourse. If it was a few hours ago, especially if it was your first time, you can have traumatic bruising and swelling from vigorous intercourse. If it was a day or more ago, you may have an infection. You may need to see your doctor and have it checked out.
