What Causes Frequent Urination, Spotting And Sore Clitoris?

Hello, My girlfriend came to me this morning complaining of how uncomfortable it was for her to sit down due to the fact that her clitoris was sore. She later told me that when she went to the bathroom earlier this morning she noticed blood around her clitoris. She also has been having to urinate frequently but only small amounts come out. Any idea what this could be?

Hello and welcome to HCM,
A clinical assessment and relevant investigations are required to know the cause of the symptoms.
Initial, a urine examination of required to assess the presence of infection in urinary tract.
Frequent urination can occur in case of urinary tract infection (UTI).
In case of UTI, infection can spread to reproductive tract and surrounding structures.
The swelling of clitoris can occur in cases of UTI.
If there is evidence of infection in urinary tract, appropriate antibiotics need to be taken.
If there is no evidence of infection in urinary tract, clinical assessment of the clitoris is required.
The swelling could be due to local infection of clitoris only.
In that clinical assessment of external genitalia and examination of any associated discharge is required for further treatment.
Avoid sexual activity till the infection clears away.

Thanks and take care
