what would you call a swelling of the labia? Labiitis?

Question:

Answers:
no. vulvitis is the term

Other Answers:
No, you'd call it vulvitis, or inflammation of the vulva (one term for the external female genitalia). There isn't a specific term for inflammation of only the labia, particularly since all of these parts tend to become involved in an inflammatory process simultaneously.

an STD--call a doctor.

if sore or swallon it could bacterial viaginitis.

swelling, usually caused by the sexually transmitted disease gonorrhoea, is the enlargement of the Bartholin gland. This gland sits in the middle of the labia and sometimes swells to the size of a plum. It is painful and usually inflamed. These must be drained if they are infected, and antibiotic therapy is what is used to treat it.

I would try to get an appointment right away to have this swelling investigated. The sooner the swelling is diagnosed, the quicker you can begin treatment and alleviate your discomfort.
