Has anyone had a sore clitorus after childbirth?

Question

I'm 11 days postpartum and my clitorus has been feeling very sore and a little swollen. Is this just a symptom of childbirth? Or something else?

Answer

I thought my clitoris was sore but it ended up being my urethra because I had a catheter. And honestly it might’ve been both lol

Answer

I had a sore everything

Answer

Mine still is irritated 4 weeks pp. It feels like a lot of pressure at times. Especially if I get aroused (tmi), it just feels like a ton of pressure instead of feeling good. Safe to say I won’t be having sex for a few more weeks 😂

Answer

I’m 15 days pp and mine’s still sore too. When it happened with my first, they said that the cause was swelling/general soreness down there. It seemed to go away before I went back to work at 6 weeks so I anticipate it going away in a few weeks. Make sure to take Tylenol or ibuprofen as needed still!

Answer

It’s normal. I assumed it was because of the catheter lol

Answer

It's normal everything down there will be sore for a while

Answer

Mine was so irritated for like 6 weeks. I kept thinking something was wrong. I spoke to my doctor and she said everything was stretched down there so everyone heals at different paces but it was normal.
