Hallow Dear,
You seem to have developed Bartholin's abscess after the sex.
Just under the Labia majora, Bartholin's glands are situated. Usually Bartholin's abscess is due to sexually transmitted infection like Gonorrhoea and/or Chlamydia. Once the abscess is formed, it needs incision and marsupialization where the edges are everted and sutured to prevent reformation of the abscess.
For the infection, along with, you will have to take a course of appropriate antibiotics. Since it is a sexually transmitted infection, both the partners should take the treatment simultaneously and observe sexual abstinence till both of you are declared cured of the infection.
Please report to your Gynaecologist and STD specialist ASAP.
I hope this helps you.
