Do you know what could have caused my vagina to swell after sex?

Q. Hi, I am really worrying about something and I hope that you can help me with it. Here’s the thing, I had sex with my long term boyfriend two days ago. The only different was that it lasted longer than usual and we used lubrication. Since then I have had slight swelling and it stings most of the time just inside my vagina, mostly when I urinate which is really painful. Like a burning sensation. I have also started producing a lot more discharge which has changed from a white to a slight yellow. I’ve had an std check since being with him and we have both been faithful so I’m ruling that out, I have also had thrush before and it doesn’t feel like that. Could you give me any answers? Thank you in advance,
 
A. Thanks. The stinging sensation may be due to subtle trauma to the vaginal skin and maybe also bruising to the bladder wall. Otherwise, to check for possible std, it’s best to see your GP or go to the nearest sexual health clinic.

Is it true that the risk of having an unhealthy child is greatly increased in a first cousin marriage?

Q. Hello Dr. Daniers, I want to know about first cousin marriage. I’m planning to get married to my first cousin and I have heard that the risk of having a defective baby from a first cousin marriage is high. My first cousin is from my father’s side, i.e. I’m gonna marry the son of my father’s brother. My parents believe that marriage of first cousins is acceptable if its from mother’s side and its less risky when compared to marrying a first cousin from father’s side. Is it true? I would like to know what are the treatments available to have a healthy baby from a first cousin marriage and is it possible for us to find out weaknesses in our DNA and predict if we gonna have a healthy child or not? Please be kind enough to send me a reply at your earliest.
thank you,
jane ,
 
A. Thanks. Yes there are several condition that can be checked by pre-implantation genetic disgnosis and also that can be done by amniocentesis or Chorionic Villus Sampling, to see if the baby is affected. I suggest that you speak to a geneticist, who can do a test run on possible obvious inheritance profile, and advise accordingly. After this, then speak to your Fetal Medicine Specialist Obstetrician
