Prego swollen clit

Last Updated on 29 Maggio The clit is arguably the most sensitive part of our anatomy. Estimates put the number of nerve endings in the clit at over 8,; compared to the 4, in the penis. Located at the top of the vulva, the clit is the area of arousal for women. This area often becomes swollen or increases in size when stimulated during sexual intercourse. If stimulated enough, women tend to achieve orgasm. Since the amount of blood flowing to the organ determines how engorged the clit becomes, certain external factors may precipitate an increase in the size of the clit.

A swollen vulva is a common symptom of vaginitis, which is an inflammation of the vagina. Vaginitis often results from a bacterial, yeast, or viral infection or an imbalance in vaginal bacteria. Certain skin disorders or low levels of estrogen can also cause the condition to occur.
