embarrassing and painful issue after sex

[snuggles1]

hi girls,
i have no idea who to ask about this but any help or info would be really appreciated.
every now and again, but more often than not recently after intercourse, my inner labia swells really badly, sometimes where it hangs outside my outer lips and is really painful, the swelling decreases in time but usually takes 24 hours...ive tried using more lube, which sometimes helps, its not an sti or anything along those lines as ive only just had a full sexual health check up

Not really sure what it could be!?

Do you use condoms, lube etc which could be irritating? or does your OH use amything in that 'area' could it be a body wash or something? I'm thinking it could be an allergic reaction, or just too much friction
Maybe you should see a doc? I know you said it's not an STI, but they may be able to tell you if it's an allergy etc.

Ooh i had this but i've no idea what it was. It went away eventually.

Sounds like you might be having some kind of allergic reaction.

I'm allergic to lube! Maybe you are too? I get very red down there if I use it and it stings like crazy! Not nice!!
