Swelling In Clitoral Hood, Painful Cyst. Help
Hi I am a 40 year old woman and over the last 6 months on three separate occasions I have had swollen clitorial hood and a cyst or abscess has formed on the right side which are painful, I have noticed this has occurred when I am on my period, what can be cursing this to happen and do I need to see my doctor, I have treated this by bathing and keeping the area clean, I have had fevers and treated them by taking pain killers, please help. I have never experienced anything like this before and would like it to go for good.
