Female clitoris

The sexual organs of a woman are those that are directly related to the conception of the child, as well as his bearing and the process of childbirth. They are divided into external (vulva) and internal. Problems with their health, anomalies of the structure, can become an obstacle to a successful motherhood.

Clitoris in women refers to the external organs, along with large and small labia, pubis, the entrance to the vagina. Also, girls who do not have sex life, the virgin belongs to the hymen.

Structure of female clitoris

This organ is a kind of analogue of the male penis, the development of which has been suspended even in the prenatal state. It happened under the influence of the hormonal background.

First it is necessary to understand where the clitoris is located in women. It is located between the small labia (between their front parts). The cavernous body of the organ, which divides over the urethra into 2 legs, and ends with so-called bulbs (also 2 pieces). Looks like a female clitoris, like an inverted Y.

This body has a complex structure, but it is possible to distinguish its main parts:

• the head is a very sensitive part, since it contains many nerve endings and vessels;
• The bridle is a fold that connects the labia minora and the organ itself;
• The hood is part of the female clitoris, covering his head.

It can be seen that the body is completely equivalent in structure to the penis. The difference is the location of the urethra. In men, it is part of the structure of the penis, while in girls it is in front of the vagina.

The size of a female clitoris is individual and depends on individual characteristics. Usually the head can reach a length of 1 cm or less. Its diameter can range from 0.2 to 2 cm. With sexual stimulation in many girls, the head of the clitoris increases, and immediately before orgasm it decreases. The size of the body does not in any way affect the woman's ability to experience satisfaction, as well as her libido.

The clitoris can be increased as a result of hormonal disorders, which require the attention of the doctor.

Why would a woman have a clitoris?

Stimulation of this body provides women with sexual pleasure. It is he who plays a key role in achieving orgasm. This is the strongest erogenous zone.

Due to various individual characteristics, the clitoris can be located at different distances from the entrance to the vagina. If the head is far away, then in addition to frictions during sexual intercourse, to obtain orgasm, a woman will need additional stimulation. The peculiarity of this organ is that its only function is the concentration of sexual sensations.

Some people may be interested in the question of whether there are women without a clitoris. Sometimes his head is so small that it may seem that the organ is completely absent, but it is not. In some congenital pathologies, a violation of the structure of the genital organs can be noted.

There is also an operation to remove the clitoris. It is sometimes carried out for medical reasons, for example, with oncological diseases. However, a similar procedure is practiced in a number of African and eastern countries. This medical intervention exposes the girl to psychological and physical trauma. Based on the results of a number of studies, it is known that after the female circumcision the risk of complications during the birth process increases. Human rights organizations are fighting against such a procedure without medical evidence. At the moment, many girls in the territory of more than 30 countries are subject to similar injury.
