I have a swollen and painful clitoris. I also seem to be going to the toilet an awful lot, even after a very small drink. I wake up about three times in the night to go to the toilet. I've always urinated a lot and it never hurts, so I don't think it is cystitis. I have seen the doctor and a gynaecologist, who say there is nothing wrong, but my clitoris can be very painful even when I sit down or walk. I use non-biological powder and non-perfumed soaps and wear cotton pants, but the problem is not going away. I am getting more worried about it, but people tell me it is in my mind, but it's not. It doesn't hurt all the time, but more often than not it does.

Sexual stimulation happens to alter the state of human genitalia and that too in obvious ways. The blood flow to the concerned area increases, there is enough of natural lubrication in and around the organ and for women, the vagina loosens up or enlarged and the clitoris swells. When a person is aroused there are a host of hormonal changes within the person's body.
I am 17, and I seem to be having a problem, though it occurs somewhat sporadically. My boyfriend fingers me, but I never have an orgasm, and afterwards, the swelling of my clitoris is supposed to go down, right? I have had a swollen clitoris for up to three days, with the swelling very slowly diminishing over the course of time.
