Females have an organ called clitoris at the opening of the vagina. This is the pleasure centre of the female body. Clitoris contains a complex network of erectile tissue and nerves that makes it most highly sensitive erogenous zone in the female body. One can see only a part of the clitoris which is outside the body. Most of the clitoris is inside the body. Full clitoris is about 3 inches in length and 2 inches in width. The part of the clitoris you can see is called glans. It looks like a tiny bunch of flesh which has a hood on top called clitoral hood.
Glans is a bunch of flesh which is filled with nerve endings that make it especially sensitive to touch. There are around 8000 nerve endings in the glans alone.
The inner vaginal lips called Labia Minora meet at the top of the vulva to form a hood for the glans. The clitoral hood normally covers the glans. When the female is sexually aroused the glans get swollen and the hood is removed from the top of the glans.
Without the clitoral hood the clitoris would be overly sensitive to touch and irritants, like friction from clothing rubbing against it. In some females, the clitoral hood is large and has extra tissue. A clitoral hood reduction at CLAGS Centre, Mohali in Punjab removes this excess skin.
A clitoral hood reduction or a clitora hoodectomy is an outpatient procedure done at CLAGS Centre in Mohali, Punjab by our expert cosmetic gynecologist that takes about one hour. The patient can go home the same day. The surgery is normally done under local anesthesia or under spinal anesthesia. As the name suggests clitoral hood reduction or hoodectomy is removing the excess skin from the clitoral hood which is covering the glans. This exposes more of the glans which results in enhanced pleasure during sexual activity. The cosmetic gynecologist at CLAGS Centre Mohali, Punjab sometimes performs a labiaplasty alongwith clitoral hood reduction. Labiaplasty trims excess skin from the labia minora to reshape them and make them fit perfectly inside the labia majora that surround the vagina. This procedure gives the labia a more even or symmetrical appearance.
In clitoral hood reduction surgery, the surgeon must take great care not to damage the tissue and nerves of the clitors. Once the surgery is done, the surgeon closes the wounds using dissolvable stitches.
Right candidates for clitoral hood reduction surgery are :
To correct problems which are present since birth.
Improve the look of the genitalia
Expose the glans more to increase sexual pleasure
Reduce the irritation caused by the clothes rubbing against a large clitoral hood
Healthcare Costs in India are already lower as compared to other western countries. Clitoral Hoodectomy costs USD 1500 when done alone and USD 2500 when done alongwith Labiaplasty. The cost of complete vaginal rejuvenation is USD 4000. At CLAGS, we have the most experienced Cosmetic Gynecology surgeons and cosmetic surgeons to perform these surgeries. Our surgeons have performed more than 2000 such surgeries in the last 15 years.
After the surgery you can expect some pain, swelling and discomfort. You should take rest for one week after the surgery and refrain from aggressive physical activities. The swelling will reduce in 6 weeks time but complete healing will take around 6 months.
Post surgery you are advised to do the following things :
Apply a cold pack over your underwear to the area for 20 minutes. Remove the cold pack for 20 minutes and then repeat. Do this 4-5 times in a day.
Put a pillow under your buttocks when lying on the bed
Do not wash the vagina vigorously after urinating or during the shower. Pat dry the area afterwards instead of wiping it.
Don’t have penetrative sex or use tampons for four to six weeks.
