Rejuvenate the clitoral region.
Kindly note: We at Kayakriti knowthat talking about genitalia, especially as it relates to sexual pleasure, can be uncomfortable for any lady. Please know that Dr Amit Agarwal is here to support you for all reasons you might be considering clitoral hood reduction. We will listen to you, provide details about how we will perform the procedure, what results to expect and answer all of your questions.
The surgeries performed to rejuvenate the female external genitalia are called Vaginal/female external genital rejuvenation procedures. The female external genitalia/vulva are the accessory structures of the female reproductive system that are external to the vagina. Vulva consists of mainly Labia Majora, Mons Pubis, Labia Minora and the clitoris. The Labia Majora are large, fleshy folds of tissue that enclose and protect the other external genital organs. Labia minora are small fleshy folds lying inside the labia majora and surrounds the openings to the vagina and urethra.
The labia minora come together anteriorly and form a small bulge called clitoris which is extremely sensitive and plays avital role in achieving orgasm in women. The clitoral hood conceals the clitoris nestled inside, similar to the prepuce of penis where the foreskin sheathes the head in its non-erect state.
In some women, this clitoral hood is large and has extra tissue which can lead to irritation as it continuously rub against the clothes. Decrease in sensation of the clitoris is also seen in women due to large clitoral hood. A clitoral hood reduction surgery or clitoral hoodectomy, or clitoridotomy is a cosmetic surgical procedure which removes the excess skin (prepuce) that covers the clitoris. The technique not only enhances the visual appearance of a woman's pubic area, but it also serves to improve sexual pleasure by making the clitoris more accessible. This surgery is often referred as feminising genitoplasty.
It is commonly combined with trimming of the labia minora (labiaplasty)
Benefits of clitoral hood reduction
Clitoroplasty: A clitoroplasty trims away part of the clitoris, making it smaller. In contrast, clitoral hood reduction removes tissue from the clitoral hood, making it smaller.
Clitoroplasty is indicated for women with large clitoris. An overly large clitoris may stick out, causing irritation and discomfort to the person. Clitoroplasty improves the appearance and sensitivity of a clitoris.
We also do clitoroplasty for women who have suffered damage from genital mutilation (female circumcision), still practiced in few countries and regions. A clitoroplasty corrects the damage, restoring some degree of sensitivity to the area.
After your clitoral hood reduction, you may experience some mild swelling and bruising which can last upto 6 weeks. You may also experience some discomfort. You will be made to walk on the same day of the surgery. You will be discharged on the same day of the surgery. The sutures will be dissolvable and do not require to be taken off.
To help with healing, take two to three days off from your daily routine. During that time, make sure to get plenty of rest and avoid straining yourself physically or emotionally. You can use ice packs every 30 mins if the swelling is more. Elevate your bottom with pillows when lying down at home. Gently pat dry the area after bathing and toilet and do not wipe or rub it. Always wear loose-fitting clothing to avoid irritating the area.
Patients can resume their normal routines 3-6 days after surgery and can have intercourse after 4 to 6 weeks after the surgery. You have to avoid any rigorous contact to the area for a minimum of one month. This includes sexual activity and horseback riding.
At first you may be a little numb but as the swelling subsides, sensation will return.
