The vulva is a sensitive part. Reasons for swelling can vary. Many people report that their vulva will be somewhat swollen after exercise. Another reason for this swelling could be a bacterial or yeast infection. If a yeast infection is present, there would generally be itching or some other form of discharge or discomfort.
