What Causes Vaginal Dryness With Sores Post Sex?
hi. last my boyfriend and i had intercourse. i felt a little discomfort, which i assume is due to the dryness i was experiencing. anyway, right after, i noticed my gentials getting increasingly sore and hurting. When i looked, my right labia was EXTREMELY swollen. we did not use a condom. i put a cold compress, which greatly helped the swelling go down.. but, today i still feel very sore and although it is much less, there is still some swelling. i have never experienced this before, so i am nervous. is this normal or should i be worried?

Apply antibiotic cream locally.
Avoid sex for few days.
If infection is more go for one antibiotic medicine course..
Keep local hygiene proper.
