Why is the neck of my womb swollen?

Question
I have small white spots under the skin around my clitoris.

I am very embarrassed about this (hence asking a doctor on the web) and my boyfriend finds them off putting.

He has never seen them before on anyone else. Any advice?

Answer
I'm afraid it's impossible to know what these spots are without seeing them.

Your only way to sort this out for good is to go and see a doctor. Maybe your practice has a female GP, or if not you could ask one of the local Family Planning Clinic doctors.

Likely explanations are:

  • Blocked glands, which aren't significant and so require no treatment.
  • Genital warts, which can be treated.
  • Other infections which can also be treated.
  • My hunch from your description is that your spots are the first of these, but a doctor really needs to see them to be sure.

    Yours sincerely

    Dr Bob Leckridge, GP
