Swollen clitoris during sex foreplay Posted: 06-16-07 02:23am
So my boyfriend and I don't have sex, but
we do like to touch. So when he rubs my
clitorus area, after about 3 minutes, half
of the area around the clitorus gets
swollen and begins to hurt, it's always
the same side, too. why is that? is it an
infection?

It is really hard to tell identify a
problem of the genitalia without
inspection of the external genitals
(vulva). Rubbing the clitoris area
stimulates the surrounding glands (major
vestibular glands, minor vestibular glands
and paraurethral glands). The paraurethral
glands (there are 2 of them) are located
near the clitoris. If the excretory duct
of one of the paraurethral glands is
obstructed, the secretion can't be
released during stimulation and painful
swelling on one side of the vulva can
occur. It doesn’t seem to be infection
but it can get infected in time. You can
visit your gynecologist for an
examination.
