Find Out Right Now: You need to be seen ASAP by a gynecologist to figure that out. If a gynecologist is not readily available, go to an ER. It's like cutting your lip, it's fragile tissue and you don't want it to scar, if possible. Until you are seen, keep that area moist with a tissue soaked with very dillute salt water (say, a small pinch of salt in a large class of water); If it's painful, take a Tylenol (acetaminophen) or Motrin

Not necessarily: Clitoral trauma does not usually require surgery but should be evaluated to determine any nerve damage or injury to surrounding tissue. See your doctor for a proper exam and treatment as indicated.
