Just like the labia, a woman’s clitoral hood can vary in shape and size. Excess tissue or skin overhang of the clitoral hood may lead to masking of the clitoris during intimacy causing a decrease in sexual satisfaction. Similarly, excess skin/tissue may lead to irritation or discomfort during the course of day-to-day activity or exercise. If this is so, then clitoral hood reduction may offer relief. It can also improve the appearance of the clitoral area.
