Posted on Wed, 15 Apr 2015
Question: I was fine yesterday but today I am feeling pain/discomfort around my clitorial area. I have never felt this. I don't see any swelling, nor feel any itching. What could this be? If I walk i feel it a bit, if I sit in a certain way I feel it too. I tried stretching the area and that is when it hurts the most...

Brief Answer:
possible frictional clitoral abrasion

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query,
If there has been no itching and foul smell or any swelling at the clitoral region and yet there is discomfort and pain especially while being seated n a particular position then the most likely cause can be frictional abrasion due to either scratching or friction with tight under garments.
The fact that it hurts more on stretching the area further hints towards a local abrasion. Please clean the area with mild soap or a vaginal wash , dry it completely and if available apply ointment soframycin to it thrice a day for three days. If not then application of petroleum jelly shall also serve the purpose . Avoid tight clothing and avoid local stimulation or friction. It shall heal naturally in few days.
