Clitoral Unhooding, also referred to as Hoodectomy, is aminor feminine genital surgical procedure to remove excess Prepuce tissue—thesurrounding “hood” that sheaths the clitoral node on threesides. Normally, the Prepuce is anatomically designed to offer the clitorisa degree of protection against undue abrasion—or over stimulation—andnaturally retracts during sexual intercourse, thereby leaving the highlyinnervated surface of the clitoral node—what is commonly referredto as the exterior G-spot—or Glans, to be more exposed . . . resultingin female sexual orgasms. Sometimes however, women with small clitoralnodes or those that have excess Prepuce tissue—both common conditions—findthat they can’t achieve orgasm, or have a harder time reaching climax,because the clitoris is literally covered, or restricted by too much skintissue, thus greatly lessening tactile sensation, and/or even eliminatingit entirely.
In another closely related condition—and as was reportedby researchers at the Boston University School of Medicine—roughly25% of all women treated for sexual dysfunction suffered from what wasmedically termed ClitoralPhimosis, a condition whereby the Prepuce tissue is so closely alignedwith the clitoral node, there is not enough tissue flexibility to allowthe clitoris to naturally move beyond the surrounding skin and protrude,permitting needed stimulation to achieve climax. This condition, alsoaddressed through Hoodectomy, involves the surgical retraction and/orexcising of tissue surrounding the Clitoris.
Sometimes referred to as female clitoral circumcision, the Clitoral Unhooding procedure issomewhat analogous to penile circumcision in men, although male penilecircumcision is still primarily performed from a perspective of genitalhygiene. In women, however, Hoodectomy is done more commonly to allowwomen to experience heightened arousal, by reducing the tissue that formsthe hood (Prepuce) covering the clitoris . . . almost always resultingin greater, faster orgasms. To some extent it has been suspected thatexcessive Prepuce tissue can also result in some hygiene-related issuesas well for women, giving sanctuary to increased bacterial counts, andsometimes resulting in what are commonly termed “yeast” orvaginal infections from the close proximity to the vaginal canal.
Also, it is important to note that Clitoral Unhooding (Hoodectomy)is sometimes mistakenly referred to as Clitoridectomy—another surgicalprocedure to completely remove the clitoral node—a repulsive societal/culturalprocedure and insalubrious form of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM). CLITORALUNHOODING IS NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH THIS COMMONLY MISTAKEN PROCEDUREAND IS NOT A FORM OF FGM.
Because of the innervation of the clitoris, (neuron celldensity), there are gynecologists that aren't comfortable performing theClitoral Unhooding procedure. Many times this is due to a lack of surgicalexperience. Some also object to it on societal grounds—in a parallelimplication that a woman’s sexual enjoyment, in or out of a relationship,is somehow considered taboo. But, there are a growing number of well-respectedcosmetic gynecological surgeons and plastic surgeons with urology trainingthat understand the need, and will perform this delicate operation withthe proper training and experience needed to do an outstanding job. Manyof these excellent surgeons are listed on this web site. Most important,when it comes to selecting a surgeon to do your Hoodectomy, experienceis the key.
The reason? The clitoral node has many more nerve endingsthan the surrounding tissue areas—thus if not done correctly, ClitoralUnhooding can result in heightened sensation of the node by normal movements,in some cases creating considerable discomfort. However, for surgeonswho perform the procedure regularly, Clitoral Unhooding can result inan increased stimulus of the clitoral node and the majority of patientswho have reported on their Clitoral Unhooding procedure, most have commentedfavorably, saying they’ve had increased sexual climaxes (orgasms).Surgeons who do Hoodectomy usually have a method of determining the extentof sensitivity of the clitoris before proceeding by testing the area withcold and warm swabs. Patients SHOULD ONLY have this procedure performedby a surgeon who has extensive experience in this area and has performedmany Clitoral Unhoodings.
