What Causes Painful Swelling On The Clitoris Region?
Hi there. I recently have noticed that my clitoris had been very irritated up until the last 2 days it has been acting up. It s very red, swollen, and it stings every time it gets rubbed. The pain is getting worse and I have not had any sexual activity lately. What could be the issue?

Hi,
I understand your concerns.
The irritated clitoris might be due to:
- infection: fungus, bacteria
- local trauma
I advise to:
- keep good local hygiene
- if vaginal discharge also, please apply clotrimazole cream locally
- avoid sexual intercourse until improvement
- applying Greek yogurt can also help
If no improvement within a few days, should consult with your physician as you might need oral medications.
Hope it was of help!
