writes:I'm really scared right now. I think something is really wrong with me.Earlier this year I was in an abusive relationship. In particular my bf was sexually abusive towards me.Ever since then, my clitoris has been really painful to the slightest touch. This pain comes and goes. Sometimes ill feel it for a couple of days, even a whole week, then i wont feel it for a while. I could go months without feeling it, then it suddenly comes back again. This is the reason why i havent seen the doctor because whenever i work up the courage to book an appointment, the pain has stopped and it doesnt come back for a while. Ive read on the internet that trauma to the clitoris can cause this pain and even nerve damage!! Im really scared that this is what could of happened. My bf was very rough with me. I was in so much pain when i was with him. I would tell him to stop because it hurt - but he never listened. I even had bruises on my body sometimes. Sometimes i could barely breathe for a whole week after the abuse because he would put so much pressure on my chest.I'm going to book an appointment for tomorrow and i'll def go, even if the pain goes away. but in the meantime, i'm wondering if anyone else has experienced something similar? does anyone have any idea what could be wrong with me? im really anxious about finding out whats wrong.

 Hi this is a possible medicle explanation and I am not saying you are unclean but this happens in a lot of women who bath all the time but sometimes it can be from rubbing of clothing or even in rare cases too much sex in a row or washing and scrubbing your genetals 2 much read below. GOOD LUCK
The hood of the clitoris contains glands that produce a lubricating fluid called sebum, which allows the hood to move smoothly back and forth over the glans and the shaft of the clitoris. When sebum accumulates, it turns into a white, cheese-like substance called smegma. Smegma, in turn, if it is not washed away with frequent bathing, can harden and rub between the hood and the shaft similar to a grain of sand under an eyelid — the result is an irritated clitoris that can produce incredible pain at the merest movement. Tight jeans or pressure from sexual stimulation can be excruciating. Accumulations of smegma can also cause the skin of the hood to adhere (stick) to the shaft and glans (similar to what can happen with a man who has foreskin). These clitoral adhesions can cause pain and irritation as well.
Usually, frequent bathing and good hygiene can prevent or resolve this problem, but some women may have narrow openings to their clitoral hood that make it harder to wash away built-up secretions. If you have recurrent episodes of clitoral pain, you may want to try soaking in a steamy tub and gently moving the skin around the clitoris back and away from the glans — don't tug or forcibly retract the hood since this can cause further pain and irritation. These gentle "stretches" can, over time, widen the opening of the hood, allowing more freedom of movement for both pleasure and washing.
For a few women, "do-it-yourself" measures are not enough. Gynecologists might remove adhesions and/or stretch the opening of the clitoral hood after using a local anesthetic to first numb the genital region. If diligent bathing and gentle hood massage do not relieve the pain, talk with your gynecologist about the possibilities of a "stretching" procedure, among other options. Remember, minutes spent maintaining good clitoral health can pay you back with hours of indescribable pleasure.
