Suggest Treatment Foe Swelling In Clitoris And Bleeding After Sex

I had intercourse last night and now my clitoris is swollen and extremely sore and even bleeding. It looks as if there is a hole there but there is not, it is just bleeding from under the folds and it hurts to do anything. More uncomfortable than painful

Hello and welcome,

I understand the problem. It seems that there is either an infection or trauma during intercourse that has led to this issue.

As of if the bleeding is severe then you will need to see a doctor. If it is mild [ just spots] then cold compresses every 6-8 hours need to be applied to help stop bleeding as well as decrease the swelling.

Local antiseptic ointments with steroids like combination of clotrimazole, bacitracin and betamethasone must be applied twice daily to help healing and prevent infection. If the pain is more then acetaminophen tablet can be taken to decrease pain. Avoid sexual intercourse till it heals completely.

If this does not help then you must see your doctor for presence of infection and get treated accordingly.

Hope this satisfies your query.
Thanks for using HCM.
