Clitoris larger: will it shrink back? (Photo)

S
Sammy2020_2Dec 19, 2022

Hi there, i'm Sammy, 42 years old. About 6 months ago I used DHT-gel (for a little while) to increase clitoris size and sensitivity. That worked extremely well: within a few month my clitoris grew a lot in size and sensitivity. In the attached pictures you can see the current size. Now I've stopped using the gel, will my clitoris return to its original size? Or stay this size? And when it shrinks, chances are big that my clitoris will again be fully covered by its hood, like before. At that moment: is a clitoral hood reduction operation possible to uncover / expose my clitoris like now? Since I prefer this a lot over a fully covered situation like before.

Thank you for your question You definitely should have hood (prepuce) reduction preceding labial reduction Either the trim or natural edge procedures would give nice results once the excess prepuce is cleared away. See the video below for more information

Absolutely, you can get a selective Clitoral Hood Reduction to remove excess skin along the most anterior parts of the labia minora and clitoral hood. This is a great option and can be performed under local anesthesia in our Los Angeles office. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Realself100 Surgeon

It sounds like you do have clitoral enlargement. A clitoral hood reduction will not resolve your issue, but will make you worse if a clitoris reduction is not also done. A clitoropexy will not work, because your enlarged clitoris will pull out the sutures. Have you ever taken male hormones or...

Hello there, An enlarged clitoral hood is usually caused by either a hormonal abnormality or a genetic condition. While the clitoris does get engorged and enlarged with stimulation, the size remains large with clitoromegaly and cannot be reduced by a surgical procedure without injuring the...
