Clitoral Pain/Adhesions
There are many different causes of pain in the clitoris. Infection, trauma, and vascular issues, such as clitoral priapism (a persistent erection of the clitoris), can lead to debilitating discomfort. One such cause, clitoral adhesions, are common, and can result from an infection underneath the clitoral hood due to trapped debris such as pubic hair, dead skin cells, or toilet tissue. A thorough exam, often including vulvoscopy, is necessary to properly diagnose the root cause of clitoral pain. Treatment is based on removing the offending agent through surgery or medication.

“From the first time I met with Dr. Babb virtually, to every in-person visit over the last three years, I’ve felt listened to, and understood. I appreciate the way that he tells me what I need to hear, not necessarily what he thinks I want to hear. He told me on day 1 that he would fight to figure out what was causing my symptoms, and he’s done exactly that. He’s gone above and beyond my expectations, raising the bar for other providers, which has often led me back to Haven Center time and time again. He’s cultivated a wonderful team to help him run Haven Center, and I’m so thankful for the work Dr. Babb and his team are doing!“
