Clitoral Adhesions / Pain / Lysis of Clitorial Adhesions

Adhesions occur when clitoral hood (the fold of skin that covers the glans clitoris) adheres to the glans clitoris. These are most commonly seen in young girls who have experienced female genital mutilation but recent research has showed that the condition is far more common than orginially thought. Lysis of clitoral adhesions is a procedure for separating the fused tissues of the clitoral hood and the glans clitoris which can help reduce pain, discomfort, and sexual dysfunction.
