Swollen vaginal lips

My boyfriend and I haven't seen eachother for a few months! About a week ago we saw eachother again for the first time . We have sex now All the time and now my vaginal lips are really swollen. I wouldn't have noticed it unless he said something but now they hurt a little when I touch them, is that just from having a lot of sex? Will it go away? Or do I have to go to the gyno? I'm out at school and i don't have a gyno out here and i fell a little uncomfortable going to see the male gyno on campus!! Please help!!

i'M GOIN THROUGH THE SAME THING... MY BOYFRIEND WENT TO SEE HIS FAMILY FOR TWO WEEKS AND WHEN HE CAME BACK WE GOT BUSY. THE NEXT DAY I WAS SWOLLEN AND SORE... IT HASNT GONE AWAY YET BUT IT SEEMS TO GO BACK DOWN EVERY TIME I SOAK IN A WARM BATH. WE DIDNT HAVE SEX THE NEXT NIGHT TO SEE IF THEY SWELLING WOULD GO DOWN AT ALL AND IT KINDA DIDNT. IT DOESNT HURT WHEN I PEE OR ANYTHING MY "LIPS" ARE JUST SWOLLEN. I GUESS JUST KEEP TAKING HOT BATHS AND CLEANING YOURSELF EXTRA CAREFULLY TWICE A DAY.

I think it's probably from having intercourse too often. This happens to me, too, but goes away usually the next day. If it doesn't go away with in a week, I would get tested or go to a gynocologist.  Usually, I feel really aroused, but I don't get wet enough and the inside feel kind of dry, but I can still lubricate that outside.

this all sounds fam to what im going thru now.  bf and i had sex yesterday and 1 session lasted a good long while and at 1 point, started burning bc lack of lube.  anyway, woke up this morning and notice some swelling.  its doesnt hurt or anything but we noticed that when i sit, it kinda gathers all in 1 spot and almost looks like a ball and its kinda squishy.  im hoping this is nothing and hoping it'll go away in a day but just wondering if you guys had this or did anything in  terms of icing or hot showers or anything?

I'm having a similar problem.
I don't know if it is from having sex, or if I have a yeast infection.
I had one, and I took something for it, and the symptoms went away for a few days.. But then they kind of came back.. But I've been waiting it out..
Before I used the product, I had something that felt swollen inside, but I could feel it on the lips. It just feels like a round hard.. ball?
I didn't pay attention to whether or not that went away when I used the product..
So I don't know if I'm having sex too often, or if it could be the yeast infection.. Because at the moment I'm on my period, and the pain and size seems to be increasing. It doesn't hurt, really, unless there is pressure on it.
I'm just confused.. Thanks for your help. :)
