Q: opening of vagina swollen and pain after sex. how to soothe it? pretty sure its a friction problem?

: Apply ice packs and use a soothing water based lubricant to rehydrate the area. Avoid harsh soaps and douches as they can further irritate the area. Watch for any discharge as that may indicate infection with yeast or other organisms which will require additional treatment.
