Clitoral hood hypertrophy

An overly prominent hood can limit access to the clitoris and the quality of sensation - a subject rarely raised, yet simple to treat.

Access to the clitoris is not a detail: it is often the key to pleasure.

What it is

The clitoral hood is the fold of skin that protects the clitoris. In some women it is bulkier and largely covers the glans of the clitoris, permanently.

Where it comes from

As with the labia minora, it is an anatomical variation, sometimes more marked after a pregnancy or with age, with no cause to look for.

What it changes in everyday life

A hood that covers too much can reduce direct access to the clitoris and therefore stimulation during intercourse, and may be accompanied by local discomfort: friction, irritation, a build-up of secretions.
