A member asked:

I'm about 6 weeks pregnant, and after sexual intercourse, my vagina labia swelled. what's the cause of the swelling? do i need to be worried?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It is likely: just irritation from the direct friction of intercourse. There is no need to worry unless you develop severe abdominal pain or vaginal bleeding. Hope this helps!
