Dr. Gerard Honore answered

Specializes in Fertility Medicine

Swelling: If you use latex condoms that would be high on the list, not enough lubrication, too much friction, possible infection or inflammation could also cause this. If it continues you may need an exam with a doctor to sort it out, best wishes.
