	Clitoral glans Totally Explained
		The clitoral glans (glans clitoridis) is an external portion of the clitoris.
		It is covered by the clitoral hood, which is also external and attached to the labia minora.
		The clitoral glans is attached to the clitoral body, which is internal.

	Clitoral Adhesions
		Clitoral adhesions can usually be avoided by good personal hygiene, i.e.
		The accumulated smegma may have to be removed by a doctor, and the adhesions may have to be released under local anesthesia.
		On the other hand, some women never become aware of their clitoral adhesions and are sexually fully responsive in spite of them.

	Female Genital Anatomy
		The glans is covered by a clitoral hood formed in part by the fusion of the upper part of the two labia minora.
		Unlike the clitoral glans the male glans is pierced by the urethra.
		The periurethral glans is defined as the triangular area of mucous membrane surrounding the urethral meatus from the clitoral glans to the vaginal upper rim or caruncle.

	Clitoral Adhesions
		Clitoral adhesions are similar to labial adhesions, except clitoral adhesions are located on and around a girl's/woman's clitoris or under her clitoral hood, which covers the clitoris most of the time.
		Clitoral adhesions limits and/or prevents the clitoral hood to freely slide across the glans of the clitoris.
		Due to the sensitive nature of the clitoris and clitoral glans, it may be painful during the cleaning or massage due to the adhesions.

	Clitoral Surgery
		In this procedure, none of the clitoral structures are removed, instead the clitoral structures are dissected out and then folded up and moved in their entirety, backwards under the symphysis pubis.
		As in the clitoral reduction procedure, the bilateral dorsal clitoral nerves maintain their connection to the clitoral glans.
		Clitoral surgery on severely virilised children must be carefully discussed with all involved in the full understanding of effects on future.

	Glans - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The glans (Latin for "acorn", because the glans of an uncircumcised penis often looks like an acorn popping out of its cap) is a structure internally composed of corpus spongiosum in males or of corpus cavernosa and vestibular tissue in females that is located at the tip of homologous genital structures involved in sexual arousal.
		The exterior structure of the glans consists of mucous membrane, which is usually covered by foreskin or clitoral hood in naturally developed genitalia.
		In males the glans is known as the glans penis, while in females the glans is known as the glans clitoris.

	The Prepuce: Anatomy, Physiology, Innervation, Immunology, and Sexual Function
		Of historical interest, true aposthia (absence of a prepuce) with normal development of the urethra and glans must be very rare: however, it is referenced in Jewish law of 1567 CE, relative to a child born circumcised [26].
		Some authors state that the clitoral prepuce is formed by a splitting of the urogenital folds around the clitoris, with development of the prepuce superiorly and the clitoral frenulum inferiorly [34].
		In the glans penis, encapsulated end-organs are sparse, and found mainly along the glans corona and the frenulum [43].

		In a female human anatomy, the clitoral hood, (also called preputium clitoridis and clitoral prepuce), is a fold of skin that surrounds and protects the clitoral glans.
		Women with more compact structures tend to rub the clitoral glans and hood together as one item.Sometimes the glans clitoris is too sensitive to be rubbed with the hood fully pulled back.

		Clitoral size was recorded in 200 consecutive, regularly menstruating women without historical or anatomical evidence of hyperandrogenism or other endocrinopathy presenting for routine gynecologic examination in a private office setting.
		The longitudinal diameter of the glans was 5.1 +or- 1.4 mm.
		Glans length and width, clitoral index, and total clitoral length were all significantly correlated.

		As the clitoral hood, if not retracted, permitting the clitoral hood and clitoris to be washed while bathing, has a tendency to build up vaginal and vulva secretions, such as sweat, urine, menstrual fluids, as well as accumulate dead skin cells.
		Women who have elected to have their clitoral hoods removed for the purpose of increasing sexual stimulation of their clitoris, or to aid in their hygiene and improving or enhancing their sexual experiences have generally experienced greater sexual pleasure and increased hygiene.
		Surgically removed many clitoral hoods to treat “preputial adhesions.”Dr. Morris noted a “frequent finding” of the clitoral glans “undeveloped and buried beneath an adherent prepuce.I investigated and found that because of the irritation caused by preputial adhesions, both boys and girls require circumcision in equal numbers” (160).

	CLITORIS HOOD PIERCING INFORMATION
		Behind the Clitoral tip or "Glans of the Clitoris (equivalent to the head of the Penis) is the Clitoral "Stem", a couple of centimetres long; while leading down either side of the Vagina are two very thin "legs" or suspensory ligaments of the Clitoris.
		The whole structure of the Clitoris forms a triangle, which is bound by the Glans of the Clitoris at its apex, and the transverse muscle on the far side of the Vagina forms the base.
		Like the Glans of the Penis, the Glans of the Clitoris is the most sensitive part of the whole Clitoral structure, and can focus and increase the sensations received elsewhere.

		The penile skin is continuous with that of the lower abdominal wall and continues over the glans penis to form the prepuce; it then folds itself to reattach at the coronal sulcus.
		Proximally, Buck’s fascia is attached to the perineal membrane; distally, it is tightly attached to the base of the glans penis at the coronal sulcus, where it fuses with the ends of the corpora.
		The dorsal artery of the penis is the termination of the penile artery; it runs over the respective crus and then along the dorsolateral surface of the penis as far as the glans between the dorsal vein medially and dorsal nerve of the penis laterally.

		This leads to a rise in clitoral cavernosal artery inflow, an increase in clitoral intracavernosal pressure, and clitoral engorgement.
		It was concluded that nitrergic neurotransmission is responsible for the NANC relaxation responses in the clitoral corpus cavernosum of the rabbit.
		Thus, vaginal and clitoral smooth muscle contraction is the result of activation of alpha-adrenergic receptors by norepinephrine released from adrenergic nerves.

		In a female human anatomy, the clitoral hood, (also called preputium clitoridis and clitoral prepuce), is a fold of skin that surrounds and protects the clitoral glans.
		Women with more compact structures tend to rub the clitoral glans and hood together as one item.Sometimes the glans clitoris is too sensitive to be rubbed with the hood fully pulled back.
		Female genital cutting is now widely discouraged and in some regions of the world it is illegal, but the removal of the prepuce is still practised in some rural areas because it is thought to inhibit sexual arousal thus keeping women "more pure" according to them.

	Clitoral Circumcision (Site not responding. Last check: )
		This site is dedicated to the surgical removal of the clitoral hood (prepuce) with the result that the clitoral glans (the tip of the clitoris) is left permanently exposed.
		Clitoral circumcision: Refers to the surgical procedure in which the hood of the females clitoris (called the clitoral prepuce) is removed.
		Scott's brief answer to a question sent to the journal would appear to count against any such claim: "Anatomic studies have shown that on a per centimeter surface area, the number of nerve endings in the glans clitoris is equal to that in the same surface area of the glans penis" [88].

	clitoral glans
		In female human anatomy, the clitoral hood, (also called prepuce), is a fold of skin that surrounds and protects the clitoral glans.
		The clitoral glans is homologous to the glans penis in males, and the clitoral body and the clitoral crura, are homologous to the corpora cavernosa of the penis.
		The labia majora, labia minora and clitoral hood are homologous to the scrotum, shaft skin of the penis, and the foreskin, respectively.

	Circumcision and prejudice against the intact
		Sometimes the foreskin sticks to the underlying glans when smegma, a naturally occurring substance of cheesy consistency made up of oily secretions, dead skin cells, dirt particles, sweat, and bacteria, is not regularly washed away from underneath the foreskin.
		The advantages of circumcision are primarily related to hygiene and health: smegma does not collect, the glans of the penis is easier to clean, conditions of inflammation or infection are less likely to occur, and cancer of the penis is less frequent.
		Clitoral circumcision — surgical removal of the clitoral hood — has been said to improve female sexual responsivity by exposing the clitoral glans to more direct stimulation.

		This piercing enters the glans on one side and passes directly through the glans to leave on the opposite side of the glans.
		This is the least common clitoral piercing as it is only possible in persons with suitably shaped genitalia and it requires an experienced piercer.
		This piercing enters the skin in the midline at the junction between the glans clitoris and the hood inferiorly, runs parallel to the clitoris beneath the skin of the hood, and surfaces in the midline through the skin of the hood near its apex.

		Depending on the size and tightness of her hood you may not be able to retract it far enough to expose the clitoral glans.
		If her glans is small, you may only be able to detect the shaft of her clitoris when she is erect but not the glans itself.
		She may be able to tell you when you have grasped her clitoral glans in your finger tips if you are not able to feel it.

		During breast, or vaginal, stimulation the clitoral response will follow established patterns, and there is a distinct delay in the onset of these patterns as opposed to the rapid reaction developed from direct stimulation of the clitoral body or the most area.
		When clinical tumescence of the clitoral glans did occur, it developed long after there was obvious production of vaginal lubrication and paralleled a vasocongestive increase in the size of the minor labia.
		The clitoral glans often becomes extremely sensitive touch or pressure immediately after an orgasmic experience, and particular care is taken to avoid direct glans contact when re-stimulation is desired.

	Scientific American: Anatomy and Sexual Dysfunction
		Researchers at Boston University School of Medicine report that roughly one quarter of the women they have treated for sexual dysfunction have clitoral phimosis, which means the hood of skin surrounding their clitoris is too tight or there is no opening in the skin for the glans of the clitoris to protrude for stimulation.
		There is no standard treatment for clitoral phimosis, although some women have undergone surgery to increase the exposure of the clitoral glans.
		Goldstein speculates that many women with clitoral phimosis are never diagnosed because gynecologists generally avoid the clitoris during routine pelvic examinations.
