HiMy name is Alex and lately my clitoris has been extremely sensitive to touch. I do not masturbate, but I do practice in safe sex. I have stopped having sex sense it started hurting, but it seems very red and raw like. It hurts to wipe and there seems to be white (sometimes) chunky or mucus like discharge around the area. My vagina has also been very dry and itchy lately. Is this just a yeast infection or sometimes else?
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor, The presenting symptoms are in favor of fungal infection. Most of the affected female with fungal infection will present with itching, pain and whitish discharge. The fungus is usually present in the genital area, and it is kept under control by the bacteria present in the genital area. Whenever there is an imbalance in the environment, the fungus will activate and produce the symptoms. It is usually presents in the moist area like genital areas. I would suggest you to keep good hygiene of the genital areas and apply antifungal cream on consulting your doctor. Thank you.
