Ah oh? : I agree sexual activity should not give you such pain and swelling! There is something definitely abnormal here. If you do not have fever, I think we can wait till tomorrow to have an exam for you. Call your gyn's office tomorrow and get a careful exam. THIS may be an infection of some sort. It is possible it will require incision and drainage, so don't delay. Thanks 4 trusting Healthtap!
