Title: Bump on clitoris
Post by: makipu on September 09, 2014, 09:28:20 PM
I have a disturbing question regarding how clitoris can be affected by T. I am embarrassed to talk about it because I don't want to look at  any of the female parts that I carry... :embarrassed:
I had this white bump on it and the doctor said that it could be very well from the T. I thought it was only supposed to make it grow but I didn't know there could be other effects. The doctor was  going to remove it by popping it with a needle but changed her mind later because it was on such a sensitive area and it would be painful for me.
Has anyone experienced this?

By the way, I am not taking T anymore but I just got it checked and I had it for a few months now.

The only time I got a bump in a sensitive area, it went away in about a week and a half so I'm afraid I have no insight. :/ I do wish you luck in getting it figured out and resolved if it's a problem.

Most likely just an over-active sebaceous gland

makipu, I know it is embarrassing to talk about it or have a dr exam you down there, but it is important that you following with the dr and to make sure everything is alright.  How long were you on t and why did you stop?

I have two tiny bumps that I've had for as I got large enough to notice... I figured them as weird scars or something. Is it painful or anything? If not, I don't imagine it to be a big deal.

If there's no chance that it's related to STDs, or pumping (some say overdoing it can cause blistering), it could be a pimple. It's possible to get them in that region. It was pre-T but I had one thereabouts once.

Or it could just be a bump. Human bodies only get lumpier with age. Good that you had a doctor check it out.

i didnt have any bumps, but when I pulled the hood back on the clit, there was white gunk (kind of like what happens to an uncircum penis lol), anyway all i did was clean that stuff off, and everything is fine down below (not sure if this is the same thing), but it could just be a pimple in that region.

Thank you for the replies everyone. I do hope it's nothing serious but I had this for couple of months now and I first noticed it within 1 month of taking T. I think I was on it for 3 months+ (inconsistent with stopping a month)


The reason why I stopped T was because I felt like it was the cause for my hair falling out at an alarming rate but even being off from an already low gel dose for about a month now I don't know if it was.
If this helps, I am on Errin (mini birth control pills) to stop the periods but then again maybe this could also be a factor for hair loss?  Then again why am I noticing it now when I've been on this birth control for over a year?
I didn't mean to go off topic here but maybe my problems could be related to one another.

Anyway,s the bump is not painful on its own but when I tried to pop it even gently it hurts.  That's why the doctor didn't want to use the needles. She actually mentioned some word(s) that I can't recall but it was a simple procedure of wetting a cloth with warm-hot water and having it stay there for 20 minutes or staying in bath and it would go away on its own. I tried it but it didn't work.

This happened to a girl I knew. She said that her doctor told her to sit in hot water (not boiling, just like a regular bath type of hot water) for twenty min each night until it went away.

chipper, you are seeing more fluid coming out of your vagina since starting T?  That is something I would not like to see happen to me when I start T.  We need to take special care of our clitoris as you don't want everything bad to happen to it.

chipper is there enough fluid that you need to wear a little mini pad to collect it and keep thing dry down there?

that is great to hear, chipper, as I have always that on T you have less wetness overall down there.

Sounds like a sebaceous cyst to me.  They're harmless,  but it's also always best to get a doctor's opinion.   Especially when it's on your cock.
