Vagial buring and swelling

[missiceman]

I am a 20 yr old female, every once in awhile during or right after sex my vagina starts to have a burning feeling, gets really hot  and sometimes even swells up. im sexually active with the same guy for the past 3yrs. and this only happens once or twice every 4 months, if that. but once it happens it doesnt go away for a few wks. Please Help me get more information y this happens?

we do not use condoms because ive learned that i am allergic to latex down there and i swell up like a softball when it touches a latex condom. Also I do not have periods because I am on depovera birth control. I do realize that i am dry down there so we use alot of spit and or lube but i have to be careful with the lube because sometimes my vagina will have an allergic reaction to certain lubes. Also the bacteria thing could be part of it, he will work all day then come home and we go at it, i will start to clean him up as a lil 4 play before we start. THANK YOU ALL for the help so far. Still  would like some more info on it.

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
If it happens once in a while, then this could be due to dry vagina, rough sex or due to a change in condom or maybe because you are close to your periods date. When this happens again, consult a gynecologist at that time. Take care!

If it only happens when you have sex (or right after) it could be that one of you (or him) may not be clean enough, down there. If that is the case, and there is extra bacteria, it is just your bodies way of protecting it'self.
To prevent this, take a shower, together, before anything starts. Everytime. That way you will both be very clean and the chances of this happening, go down dramatically.
Good Luck.
