Suggest Treatment For Enlarged Clitoris

I m freaking out! I ve had an enlarged clitoris for a couple months now. It doesn t hurt nor bother me in any way. I m trying to figure out what is wrong, or if I need to go see a doctor, or if there is any over the counter medication I can take to see if it will go away. The thing that scares me the most is that I have been taking a steroid to help improve my body because I just had a baby 5 months ago. The steroid is called anavar build specialty for women. Then I read online that one of the side effects is enlarged clitoris, and that it is irreversible. So now I m really freaking out! I need advice, and some answers?! Could this problem be from sex? Or from when I had my baby? Or from the steroids? And is there a cure?! Will this problem go away?!

hi.

yes, it could be a side-effect of your steroid medication, that's why the use of these medications should be in proper regimen with the guidance of a doctor. it is best if you consult with a physician, preferably a gynecologist, for physical examination and clinical evaluation. diagnostics and management will be advised accordingly.

hope this helps.

good day!!
