What should I do about enlarged and painful clitoris?
Hello,
Yesterday, after clitoral stimulation, my boyfriend noticed that my clitoris enlarged. It has remained enlarged since then (almost 24 hours). When I woke up this morning it was also hurting, but it wasn't painful enough that it alarmed me. Since then, it has remained painful and after brief friction today, the pain has increased. The clitoris is currently in pain and is still enlarged. Is there anything I can do to help it, and should I contact my doctor now or should I wait?
Thank you.

Hi,
Have you tried soaking in a warm bath (not hot), and very gently washing your vulva/ clitoris itself?
If you haven't, you definitely should try that first ~ just warm water, with no soap, and gently rinse area (don't rub). Sometimes over stimulation, lack of lubrication, or natural build up can cause pain & swelling; this is when the warm bath comes in handy. You can also take an Advil (Ibuprofen) or Tylenol ( Acetaminophen) before the bath to help with any pain.
The general rule is to see if the bath makes a difference or not. If that doesn't help, and the pain/ swelling continues, contact your doctor/gynecologist for further advice.
