ANSWER

Women have a great deal of erectile tissue in their genitals (as much as men in fact, but most of it is inside). During lovemaking all this tissue becomes engorged with blood and swells. Externally the clitoris engorged and you may also notice changes in your inner and outer labia. Inside, the vaginal canal thickens and engorges and the vagina expands, especially if you are highly aroused.

The vagina can also become swollen after sex, particularly if you are making love for a long time and are quite vigorous during all kinds of vaginal penetration. It's like rubbing any part of your body for a long time, there will be a reaction. Make sure you are well lubricated. This helps cut down some of the friction that can cause irritation.

If the swelling and stinging when you pee only last a little while then there shouldn't be much cause for concern. If they persist (last more than a day) you might want to check with your doctor to make sure you don't have some sort of infection.
