What causes clitoral inflammation or rupture in older women?

Clitoral inflammation or rupture in older women can be caused by several factors, including hormonal changes associated with menopause, which can lead to vaginal atrophy and decreased lubrication. Chronic irritation from friction during sexual activity or the use of harsh soaps and hygiene products may also contribute. Additionally, conditions such as infections or autoimmune disorders can lead to inflammation. Proper lubrication and gentle care can help mitigate these issues.
