CLITORAL HOODECTOMY
The tissue covering the clitoris can be too large for some women and create a protruding cover with excess skin. This situation can reduce sexual sensation and even create discomfort during intimate moments.
It is very likely that a woman will not easily talk about this issue. But the truth is that this problem can be easily fixed. A simple procedure, known as plastic surgery for the clitoris, alleviates women from this excess skin. It also improves the aesthetic aspect, and most of all the area’s sensuality.
