Last night i noticed a bump on my groin area and then this morning went to the doctor they have no idea what it is i did have a vaginal infection two weeks ago and took antiboics for it but i am concerned with what this could be. i tried to have intercourse and now my left side is swollen please help me get an idea of what it is. I did get std checked and i came back clean as well as my partner. We do have a lot of sex could that cause this?

Hi,
I understood your query & concern.
- Yes, exaggerated sexual activities along with carelessness about genital hygiene can lead to genital infection( Though not STD)- which you already had.
- The swelling in your groin can be explained on the ground of lymph nodes draining the vagina being involved in the infection.
-Now, swelling on left side of vagina is also due to the infection of Bartholin's glands -situated in side walls of vagina.
* You should get vaginal swab testing done to know the exact bacteria involved & the sensitive antibiotic to get rid of it.
- some time treatment of both sex partners becomes essential,
- bartholin abscess needs treatment with medicines & surgical drainage ,
* to be in touch with a gynecologist is advised for getting suitable advise.
& follow up.
Thanks.
