Medical condition| Cunnilingus tongue |
|---|
Cunnilingus tongue (sometimes termed cunnilingus syndrome) is a medical term used to describe the appearance of traumatic lesions on the ventral surface (undersurface) of the tongue, especially the lingual frenulum, caused by repeated friction between the tongue and the mandibular incisor teeth during cunnilingus and other oral sexual activity such as anilingus.
Signs and symptoms
There is pain and soreness on the undersurface of the tongue, and sometimes the throat. The ulceration of the lingual frenum caused by cunnilingus is typically orientated horizontally, the lesion corresponding to the contact of the ventral tongue with the incisal edge of the mandibular incisor teeth when the tongue is in its most forward position and the lingual frenulum is stretched. The ulceration has an nonspecific appearance, and is covered with a fibrinous exudate and surrounded by an erythematous (red) "halo". Chronic ulceration at this site can cause linear fibrous hyperplasia (irritation fibroma).
Diagnosis
The differential diagnosis is with other causes of oral ulceration such as aphthous stomatitis, secondary herpetic lesions, syphilis, etc.
Management
Topical anesthetic may be used to relieve symptoms while the lesion heals. Fibrous lesions may require surgical excision. The incisal edges of the mandibular teeth can be smoothed to minimize the chance of trauma.
Prognosis
This type of lesion usually resolves in 7–10 days, but may recur with repeated performances.
Epidemiology
The condition is seen particularly in males.
