Sore, Painful, Bean Size Lump In Clitoris Under The Hood. Suggest
Hello. For the past two months I have experienced a very uncomfortable pain from the clitoral area. There seems to be a lump the size of a kidney bean (size wise) to the immediate right to my clitoris, underneath the hood. It is extremely sore and it often rubs against my underwear when walking or exercising, it feels like an open nerve in terms of pain/ sensitivity. Please help, starting to become extremely worried. Kind Regards,

Hi,
It may be a simple cyst but because it is such an awkward position it is causing so much discomfort. There is a chance it may become infected which may lead to further pain and discomfort. Therefore, I would suggest you visit your doctor so you can be examined.
