What Causes Red And Swollen Clitoris?
Hey my clitoris is kinda swollen, and red. There is a little discharge that is on my underwear. I usually have discharge because I am on the pill. It is kinda itchy though off and on. I have gotten quite a few yeast infections I get them pretty easily. Is it just another yeast infection?

Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
The history and symptoms are suggesting that you may be having some fungal infection which is leading to the symptoms of swelling and redness of the clitoris.
The genitals are the most common site of fungal infection, because the fungus are the common comensals which will be kept under control by the helpful organisms. Whenever there is a imbalance in the environment it will leads to fungal infection.
For your symptoms I would suggest you to apply topical antifungal cream like clotrimazole.
Thank you.
