i have sex i have been having sex since i was 13 and i don't know weaither this has anything to do with what is going on with my body, but i figured i would ask anyways. so, almost everytime i have sex just recently like the past 9 months, i have swelling in my labia and its very tender... well just recently i have been having sex a lot and the same thing is happening but the swelling is taking longer to go away, and its just appearing on the left side, and it almost feels like its bruised, and it hurts really badly to pee. could it be an ingrown hair? well last night i was in the shower and i also noticed that in my groin area is really swollen and feels like i was kicked in the groin.. the bump is really hard and when i walk it hurts... i have a brase on my leg because i have a broken foot and its lifted in the air quit often... so i might have just pulled it or something but it really scares me.
i told my mom about the groin swelling but not about the other shit because she doesn't know i have sex but i am on birth control and i'm scared to go to the doctors.
pain when you be might be a urinary tract infection, which you will need atibiotics for, and i doubt the other thing is an std, but it might be possible.
i dont mean to scare you, btu it also might even be a tumor.
you need to go to the doctor asap.
dont worry about the birth control thing.
you have privacy options, and the gynocologist will not tell your mom that you are sexually active.

there could be a lot of reasons for the swelling including rough and frequent sex, but the fact that it is only on the left side and is hard and swollen concerns me. I think you should definitely have it checked out by your doctor; just to be on the safe side.
P.S. you didn't say what size the bump was. That could make a difference. Hurting when you urinate could be a urinary infection. Get it checked out. I hope I helped.
Good luck,
