Doctor's answer:
The size, shape, and position of the clitoris vary greatly among individuals. A few people may develop abnormal hypertrophy due to long-term estrogen use or excessive androgen secretion in the body. In some cases, the clitoral glans may split into two halves, only connected at the base. Abnormalities in the reproductive organs of young girls are not uncommon. If there are abnormalities in the arrangement of genes, especially in the sex chromosomes, pathological or conditions may occur. Additionally, during embryonic development, interference from internal and external environments, such as the mother being ill, taking incorrect medications, exposure to X-rays, inhaling toxic or harmful gases or dust, etc., can also cause developmental deformities and result in abnormalities.When the clitoris is hypertrophied, the enlarged labia minora not only appear unattractive but also cause psychological distress in some patients, as well as numerous inconveniences in daily life. For example, during menstruation, the labia minora may cause pain due to friction with sanitary pads. During exercise, walking, cycling, or prolonged sitting, discomfort may arise from local compression and friction. In some cases, patients may experience obstruction or pain during sexual activity.
