Why is it that my lower body is swollen after sex?

Some women find that their lower body is swollen after having sex. If there is no inflammation, it is just congestion in the genitals caused by intense exercise, which will heal after a while. If the disease recurs over a long period of time, you should consider whether it is vulvar inflammation. Generally speaking, it is an exogenous inflammation. It is a relatively common gynecological disease caused by infection from various bacteria and should be treated promptly.

Vulvitis is an inflammation of the vulva caused by invasion of pathogens or various adverse stimuli. It can exist independently, but is more often complicated by vaginitis, urinary tract diseases, anorectal diseases or systemic diseases, or is one of the manifestations in the pathological process of certain vulvar diseases. The main symptoms are itching, pain, burning sensation and even swelling, rash, erosion and ulcers of the vulvar skin. Due to the pressure of life and work, some people often socialize and have frequent nightlife, and often work overtime until two or three o'clock in the middle of the night before going to bed. The biological clock is disrupted, the body's resistance decreases, and the immunity of the private parts continues to decrease, allowing harmful bacteria to take advantage of the opportunity to enter. Even if you pay attention to personal hygiene, poor resistance can still induce inflammatory infections. Therefore, it is recommended that female friends keep a relaxed attitude and face life with a smile. The body's resistance will increase accordingly and the disease will decrease.
