Sensitive Clitoris, UTI, Sleep Issues. Had Lidacane. Suggest?

I have a very sensitive clitoris and have had this condition for almost a week. I'm not working and have no health insurance. I went to a clinic and they refused to treat me. I live on an island with no urgent care. Is there something I can take/do over the counter. I have had limited success with lidacane and soaking in hot water, but these symptoms are creating a problem with sleeping and I am about to lose my mind. I do not have a urinary tract infection or a bacterial infection.

Hello and welcome to Healthcaremagic.

Thank you for writing to us.

An oversensitive clitoris is usually a self-induced problem. An over-sensitive and painful clitoris can be the result of prostaglandin E-2 induced inflammation of the local tissue that coincides with the action of the chemical hormone epinephrine and oxytocin. Chronic and frequent clitoral stimulation with a water jet or vibrator will lead to the prostaglandins that cause the inflammation, generating an adverse release of collagen. Often, formation of clitoral scar tissue and fibrosis will emerge, disabling the clitoral erection. Women who are sensitive to the touch should refrain from masturbating or sexual activity, and use cold packs or immerse in cold water for 15 minutes a day.

If this doesn't help, do write back to me for further clarifications.

I hope I have succeeded in providing the information you were looking for. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications. I would gladly help you.

Best wishes.
