I'm really concerned because I've noticed a swelling near my clitoris. I'm a virgin, and there's no bleeding, but one side has been swollen for about three days now. It's super itchy sometimes, and I can definitely feel the swellingit hurts a lot. I always keep my whole body clean and wash my vagina every time I pee. I can't figure out why this is happening, and it's really scary. Can you help me understand what's going on?

A swollen and painful area near the clitoris, accompanied by itching, in the absence of bleeding or sexual activity, could be caused by various factors such as a Bartholin's cyst, ingrown hair, vaginal infections like vulvovaginitis, or other conditions like herpes or eczema, so it's essential to consult a gynecologis

How painful is hymen repair surgery and how long does recovery usually take? I'm really nervous about the procedure and want to know what to expect in terms of pain and downtime.
