If you only feel the burning sensation and experience the swelling right after sex, your symptoms may be a result of physically rough sex. If so, you will need to talk with your partner about being a bit gentler during intercourse. If you are using condoms, you might be allergic to the particular brand your partner is using. Try changing brands. Perhaps you are not lubricated sufficiently. You might try using some water-based lubricant like KY jelly or astroglide prior to sex and as needed during sex.
However, if you have these symptoms between acts of sexual intercourse, you might have some type of infection. Since you have been experiencing this swelling and burning sensation for two months now, you should be evaluated by a medical professional just to be sure it’s not something more serious. If you have a regular doctor that you go to for your reproductive health, please call him or her and make an appointment. If you don’t and you live near one of our offices, please call us to make an appointment for an infection check. If you live further away, contact the Family Planning or Planned Parenthood office closest to you. Gynecologists/Family Planning/Planned Parenthood providers take care of these types of problems all the time so there is no reason to be embarrassed.
