It’s natural for the woman’s body to change over time. For some women, childbirth, aging, or individual anatomy can affect the position of the clitoris. These changes may cause physical discomfort, impact sexual function, or create concerns about appearance.
A surgical treatment that can aid in regaining comfort and confidence is clitoropexy. The guide provides helpful, understandable information about the process and what to anticipate during recovery.
What Is Clitoropexy
Clitoropexy is a surgical procedure that gently repositions and secures the clitoris and surrounding tissue. Despite the lack of open discussion, this process can be quite helpful in assisting women in feeling more comfortable and aligned with their bodies. The goal is to support the natural anatomy while addressing any discomfort or functional concerns.
Potential Benefits
Every woman’s experience is unique, and outcomes can vary. Potential benefits of clitoropexy may include:
- Relief from irritation or discomfort during movement or exercise
- Improvement in sexual function or sensitivity for some individuals
- Aesthetic refinement, contributing to personal confidence
It is important to have an open and informed discussion with a qualified provider to understand whether this procedure aligns with your goals.
The Procedure
Clitoropexy is typically performed as a brief outpatient procedure using local anesthesia and sometimes light sedation. During the surgery, Dr. Darren Lazare meticulously adjusts the clitoral hood and nearby tissue to restore a more supported, comfortable and natural position.
The surgical approach is individualized and guided by your anatomy and treatment goals.
Recovery and Aftercare
Most patients are able to resume light activities within one week. Full recovery takes about six weeks.
You will receive specific aftercare instructions to help support healing and comfort. Follow-up visits are pre-booked to ensure we’re with you every step of the way and that your recovery is on the right track.
Risks and Considerations
With any surgery, there are potential risks. These may include:
- Infection
- Bleeding
- Scarring or changes in sensation
These risks will be discussed in detail during your consultation so you can make an informed decision.
Moving Forward with Confidence
Clitoropexy may offer relief and support for women who have been experiencing changes in clitoral positioning. It is not about changing who you are. It is about feeling comfortable and empowered in your own body.
