replies: text: i'm by no means an expert on this kind of thing, but it's my understanding that Clitoromegaly is generally a symptom of something else (hormonal imbalance, drug use, etc), rather than the other way around. the ex-wrestler Chyna has/ had this condition, which was attributed to her steroid use.

message: there is no mention of any ramifications for the sexual response associated with an enlargened clitoris in the article. some mention of this would be nice.  as a (sexually experienced) lay person I would imagine that an enlargened (or even a normal clitoris but on the larger side) would bring increased sexual sensitivity and therefore sexual pleasure (although perhaps annoyance if it rubs continually on clothing etc) as the clitoris is sensitive erectile tissue (like the male penis glans) and one of the female erogenous zones... some expert like to comment and add this to the article please!... 122.148.173.37 (talk) 07:12, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

message: This was recently reverted as a link to a pornographic site.  I'm not sure it really qualifies as that (see http://www.forplu.com/common/aboutus.htm.  I'm not sure it qualifies as a good reference though.  I don't object to their depiction of vulvas --- I don't think that is pornographic.  But it is also NSFW.  But then again, why would you be looking at Clitoromegaly at work? --70.2.199.190 (talk) 04:54, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I see nothing on that myspace-like "about" page that qualifies those blokes as medical experts. The text removed was right in the lede "There are known to be a few more extreme cases." That site isn't even acceptable as an external link in a medical article. Xasodfuih (talk) 19:02, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

message: "...the typical clitoris is defined as having a crosswise width of 3 to 4 mm. (0.12 - 0.16 inches) and a lengthwise width of 4 to 5 mm (0.16 - 0.20 inches). On the other hand, in Obstetrics and Gynecology medical literature, a frequent definition of clitoromegaly is when there is a CI of greater than 35 mm2 (0.05 inches2)..."
When it says "clitoris", is it referring to the cltoral glans that protrudes from the hood, or the entire glans, covered by the hood and all?

message: It seems to me that the ICD citation should be N90.8, “Hypertrophy of clitoris” not Q52.6, “Congenital malformation of clitoris”, i.e. enlargement not malformation. The text refers to size and the both congenital and acquired nature of clitoromegaly. Can anyone state why the link should not be changed? Trankuility (talk) 06:16, 25 March 2016 (UTC)

replies: text: I think this is an important stat to include, but honestly some quick searches don't turn up any raw numbers. RadioactiveBoulevardier (talk) 01:39, 25 January 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Statistics 

message: The "Anatomy" section points out a difference in measurement between two sources, and the wiki editor clearly implies that the two sources are in conflict with each other. However, the two sources are explicitly not measuring the same thing; the first source is giving an average size, while the second source is giving a recommendation for diagnosing an abnormality. It's no surprise and no conflict, that a diagnosable abnormality is very far larger than the high end of the "average" range. "Larger than average but not a problem" is a perfectly reasonable category.
My intention is to say that these measurements differ for a good reason, there is no conflict between them, and no obvious mistake or misinformation. If there are sources that are more reliable and give better or more complete information, by all means put them in. TooManyFingers (talk) 15:34, 26 June 2023 (UTC)
