You might experience difficulty with intimate relationships, discomfort during daily activities, or anxiety about your appearance. At Sarasota Surgical Arts, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sarasotasurgicalarts.com\/about-us\/dr-sessa\/\">Dr. Alberico J. Sessa<\/a> understands these concerns and offers compassionate, professional solutions to restore your comfort and confidence. Read on about why clitoris gets enlarged and what you can do about it?<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>What Is Clitoromegaly?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clitoromegaly (medical term for clitoris) describes an abnormally enlarged clitoris that persists for a week or longer. The clitoris typically measures about 3\/4 inch to 1 inch in diameter. If you have clitoromegaly, your clitoris may be significantly larger than this normal range. While temporary enlargement during sexual arousal is completely normal, persistent enlargement lasting a week or more requires medical attention.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Common Causes of Clitoris Enlargement<\/b><\/h2>\n<h3><b>Hormonal Imbalances<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a frequent cause of clitoromegaly. This condition creates hormonal imbalances that lead to excess androgen production, resulting in clitoral enlargement.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Testosterone Therapy<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) for low libido or to increase energy levels can cause clitoral enlargement. Women seeking hormone replacement therapy for various health concerns may experience this as a side effect.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Congenital Conditions<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some individuals are born with conditions like congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH), which causes the body to produce excess androgens during fetal development. This excess exposure to male hormones can result in clitoromegaly.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Other Medical Factors<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additional causes include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Using anabolic steroids<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having a tumor on your adrenal gland<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cysts or noncancerous tumors<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vulvitis (inflammation of the external genitals), which can cause the clitoris to swell as part of the overall inflammatory response<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>Treatment Options<\/b><\/h2>\n<h3><b>Non-Surgical Treatments<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your healthcare provider may prescribe medications or recommend over-the-counter treatments for an enlarged clitoris. For vulvitis or swelling caused by inflammation, cortisone creams or topical estrogen treatments may help alleviate symptoms. If hormonal imbalances or adrenal gland issues are the underlying cause, your provider may recommend hormone therapy to reduce androgen levels in your body.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Surgical Solutions: Clitoroplasty<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This surgical approach reduces how far the clitoris protrudes while reshaping it to a more typical size, all while preserving sensitivity and function.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b>Understanding the Procedure<\/b><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Precise reduction of excess tissue<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Preservation of nerve endings<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maintenance of sexual sensation<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Minimal scarring techniques<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>When to Seek Treatment<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You should consider consulting Dr. Sessa at Sarasota Surgical Arts if:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your clitoris has been enlarged for more than one week<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You experience physical discomfort or pain<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Daily activities are affected by the condition<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You have concerns about your intimate relationships<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conservative treatments have not provided adequate relief<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><b>Why Choose Sarasota Surgical Arts?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Alberico J.
