Is it normal that my clitoris grows hair?

6 Comments

Today as I was crossing and uncrossing my legs I felt a very sharp, extremely uncomfortable pain that I thought was in my vaginal region. I figured either my pants or underwear were somehow inside my vagina. I carefully uncrossed my legs and walked over to the bathroom, to free myself of the discomfort.

I sit and inspect myself and I realize there must be something near or on my clitoris... I move the clitoris hood up and away and to my astonishment, there I see 2 thick black pubic hairs... I figure a couple of my hairs somehow detached and landed in my clitoris? I go to pull them and I fairly easily do, I examine them. They are much much shorter than my other pubic hairs and they both have a white root. Why??? Did I actually grow hair inside my clitoris? How did I not feel this before or maybe I had disregarded the discomfort.

I'm worried. Actually I've tried googling the shit out of this and there's really nothing. I am considering visiting an obgyn, but since I plucked the hairs out what is there to look over. Please somebody tell me this somehow happened to them too. I feel like a freak and I'm definitely not telling my boyfriend. Ugh

    Ask your doctor. I could be something hormonal. Save those hairs, that is if you still have them, and put them in a plastic baggy. Show them to your doctor.

    I have the same problem and it took me years to find info online.
    The best discussion site I've found on this is on medhelp.com

    Unfortunately the doctors are clueless. Some have told women it's "stress"...which really upsets me because if they would take a close and thorough look and do a little research they would actually help their patients.

    There's no way to stop the hair from growing. But, now that you know the source of the pain, you'll need to periodically remove the hairs.

    Tell your doctor about it so they might help other patients if/when they come in with similar symptoms.

    Well people grow hair on your crotch. I would think getting one you clit is normal. I would go to the doctor and ask them about it if you think it might be dangerous.

    Three times I had an inch long hair grow out of my forehead near my eyebrows. Other than that, I got nothing.
