Swollen Vulva?
I have begun masturbating and am trying to stop. However, I am afraid I have somehow damaged my clitoris. 4 days ago I masturbated 8 times in one day, each time humping a pillow. I am afraid the constant rubbing has done harm to the area. The "lips" of the vulva will not close around the internal organs and they are extremely sensitive. I feel aroused like I should masturbate all the time. Since 4 days ago, I did not, but last night I gave in because I was shaking so badly because the sensations are too much for me to handle. I thought maybe if I make myself orgasm there would be a release, but I am remaining pretty dry down there. I am not sure if I have orgasmed because I get this overwhelming feeling but then it's like nothing happens. I am afraid there is some kind of build up there that is causing the internal organs to swell and cause the extreme sensitivity I feel. This is unbearable. I cannot live like this. Please help.

Hello,
Without examination, confirmation of a diagnosis is tough but this swelling can be due to friction rub or chafing. Chafing is a continuous rubbing of the skin that causes redness or soreness.
Chafing occurs when the skin becomes irritated by the friction caused by rubbing – either against other skin or against a foreign material. Wash the areas several times with fresh water. Do not use any cosmetic products at the sites. You can apply some calamine lotion at the rash as it will help in soothing the skin.Also wear cotton undergarments. Application of mild corticosteroid cream and oral antiinflammatories like ibuprofen/acetaminophen are also helpful. If the symptoms are severe then it will be best to consult a doctor.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
