Question
I'm 17 and I'm still a virgin. I'm worried about my clit because it looks pretty big and it hangs out of my vagina lips all the time. It seems like one side of my clit is more swollen than the other. I've had this problem since I was in 6th grade and I don't know if its normal. I've told my mom about it and she told me she would take me to the doctor, but she hasn't taken me yet and I'm really worried. I hope you could tell me something about this.
Answer
You are 17 and very capable of making your own doctor appointment - you can see your regular doctor or a gyn. If insurance is an issue, go to a local Planned Parenthood and ask the clinician you see about your concerns. Good luck.
