Clitoral pain can have a variety of causes – and whatever the cause, it can interfere with your daily activities, whether it’s walking, showering, or even sitting. Clitoral pain can be embarrassing to talk about, but it’s important to know that you don’t have to live with it – an intimate health provider can help you explore the causes and find treatment. If you’re debating whether to see a doctor about your clitoral pain, here’s a quick guide to what it is and how an intimate health provider can help here at Tideline Center for Health & Aesthetics.
What Does Clitoral Pain Feel Like?
Called clitorodynia, clitoral pain can take many different forms. Generally, it’s centralized to the visible glans of the clitoris, but it can also affect the general vulval and vaginal areas. It may feel like:
- Stinging
- Itching
- Burning
- Irritation
- Discomfort
- Rawness
It can be constant, or it can come and go – especially after certain activities. For example, it may become especially bothersome when wearing certain clothes or after sexual activity. You may even feel it when there’s no direct stimulation.
What Causes Clitoral Pain?
Clitoral pain has many causes. Certain types of infection can manifest as clitoral pain, as well as irritation from certain soaps or products. It can also be the result of chronic conditions such as lichen sclerosus or nerve damage. Injury to the vulvar region, from childbirth, sexual abuse, or other reasons, can also be a cause. Finally, rough sexual activity can sometimes cause significant clitoral pain.
How is Clitoral Pain Treated?
Treatment for clitoral pain begins with determining the causes. During a private consultation, you’ll discuss your symptoms and lifestyle with our intimate health providers so we can explore all options. Some treatment options might include therapies or medications to relieve pain, while others might involve treating any underlying infections. Our providers might also recommend working with sex therapy to help you establish a healthier relationship with sex and your body, as well as incorporate better practices. In short, clitoral pain treatment is extremely personalized to your comfort level, underlying causes, and preferences.
When Should I See a Doctor for Clitoral Pain?
Sometimes, clitoral pain subsides on its own. However, you should see a doctor about your symptoms if they bother you. Clitoral pain is a significant concern that requires treatment, even if you feel embarrassed to talk about it or tend to minimize your concern. Our intimate health providers will take the time to learn about your concerns and move toward treatment in a way that feels comfortable. By treating clitoral pain, you can better enjoy your day-to-day activities like exercise or intimacy.
