Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
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?
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! Dr.Albana
