I think fairly swollen is normal. I didn't check things out because I didn't want to feel depressed about another out of control thing on my body. but I'm fairly certain I was quote swollen because I felt bruised non stop. Like I had been repeatedly kicked and beaten.
Not sure what's "normal", but I'm awfully glad I can't see mine anymore. After doing a lot of walking it really feels terrible down there - I don't want to know what it looks like.
Yeah, in school we learned it can get really engorged with blood. In some instances, women will change colors and turn purple down there because it's so full of blood. I didn't know it would be painful! Sorry, hope you get some relief soon! Maybe try an ice pack or cool wet cloth? I'm not looking forward to these symptoms...
