A member asked:

Is it safe to cold compress my vagina to get relief from a labias swelling?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Labia swelling: If the swelling is from trauma, insect bites, uncomplicated allergic response, cold compressing would be helpful. If it's from inflammation/infection, I would apply hot(not.too hot) moist compresses in addition to other appropriate treatment.
