A member asked:

After having sex is it normal for your vagina to be big and sore?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Carla Enriquez answered

Specializes in Pediatrics

Depends: If the intercourse were quite vigorous and prolonged, then there could be soft tissue swelling afterwards. It should go down with rest and cool compresses. If it stays swollen after two days, or you have difficulty urinating, see your doctor.
