A member asked:

How to treat swelling outside the vagina ? after having sex again after 1week. it was a bit rough and poor lubrication. it hurts when you touch it.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Swelling: Lubrication may be the key to some relief in the future. Water based lubrication is ideal. Use ice pack for swelling, refrain from intercourse until swelling has resolved.
