A member asked:

Can swelling be permanent of the vagina and vaginal opening? i'm worried it will never subside!

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Very rarely: Unless you have a very rare condition, swelling of the vagina and vaginally opening won't be permanent. The vagina can swell alot due to trauma or some infections/irritants but this does go away. Hope this helps.

What would cause swelling like a ball at the opening of your vagina after being aroused or having sex? It comes and goes and doesnt happen all the time. I thought it could be a cyst but not sure. It doesnt hurt really just annoying?
