What Causes Enlarged Clitoris After Waxing?

Hi my friend went to the spa and had a wax done, (as her wedding is Friday) but she realized when she returned home that her clitoris was enlarged. She does not know how long its been enlarged but its just dangling there as she puts it. Can you please tell me what this might be?

Hi,

Clitoris is a very delicate and sensitive part of genitalia should not be subjected to waxing. Her criteria seems to be traumatized due to the pull. Leading to inflammation / infection of the part. She needs a gynecologist consultation and prescription if needful anti-inflammatory / antibiotic or anti allergic medication as per need.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
