What Causes Soreness And Swelling In Clitoris Of Labia Minora Post Oral Sex?

Question: Hi. I'm a 27 year old female. I had oral sex around 10 days back. About a week later, my labia minora, especially the clitoris part was a bit itchy and sore. In a couple of days an area on the right of the clitoris became very sore and the left side got a tiny swelling which is now sore and white in colour. It is still sore and hurts when I pee
Brief Answer:
Sitz bath
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I understand your concerns.
This pain is temporary due to trauma caused during oral sex.
This pain goes away after the wound heals within a few days. There is nothing to worry.
Use sitz bath meanwhile. Sit in a small vessel containing warm water, salt and disinfectant. This helps to bring relief.
Let me know if you need anymore help.
Regards
