Clitoral area issue

Unread post by Tbond5741 »

Hey. So 2 years ago when i had my period it was this huge glob of matted hair stuck at the top of my vulva and clitoral area. Then 4 months later i removed it. However after i removed it i tried to press on the clitoral area at the top where i removed the hair and i didnt feel any pleasure. I looked at it in the mirror and i think i might have a clitoral adhesion? Is there a way i can get rid of it so that the clitoris can go back to the top of my vulva how it was 2 years ago? My clit has not been the same and i cant get any pleasure from it unless im walking and its only a little bit but i know you should be able to feel it at the top of the vulva but mine is not located there for some reasom. The er doc said my clitoral hood was swollen .

So, you have already seen a doctor about this? If so, what did they say about it besides that your clitoral hood is swollen?

They didnt say anything after that. Then another said it was hair covering the area and they couldnt see my clitoris and they said it was a smegma buildup too.

That can certainly happen. What did they advise you do from here?

Nothing is going to have put your clitoris -- or the glans, the part of it I think you're asking about -- in a different place on your body than it is.

However, you clearly have concerns something is wrong, so since you have not found those concerns alleviated by your previous visit about this, I would say it's time to see a healthcare provider. I would NOT go through the ER, as ER medicine just isn't likely to do a good job with something like this that is pretty outside that kind of medicine. Instead, I'd suggest you make an appointment with an OB/GYN. Do you know how to access that kind of healthcare?
