Alrite lately, for like the past month of so usually everytime I have sex my vagina like lips and everything else will swell up. And I cant remember if it happens only when I use a condom or just everytime I have sex. The other day I swelled up really bad and its never been like that before, i'm pretty sure I dont have an std cuz I got checked a little bit ago, but I dont understand whats happening. I'm not allergic to anyother kind of latex, so I dunno.. Please help!!

You can go to the doctor and explain this new symptom, but that symptom just happen after intercourse with condoms right? So if it was something because a std or whatever should be recurrent not just in a single ocassion.
Check out the condoms that you normally know that you are not allergic from and keep the same brand everytime. Some brands add and change components during period of time and then one of those little components (fragance, acids, etc.) can bother you.
