Clitoral Surgery

Surgery that exposes the clitoris naturally

Three benefits of clitoral surgery

1. 

   01

   Heightened female sexual sensation

   With the clitoris no longer covered by the hood, stimulation during foreplay increases.

2. 

   02

   Greater sexual satisfaction as a couple

   Clitoral orgasm increases sexual satisfaction for both partners.

3. 

   03

   Improved hygiene

   Less debris and discharge is trapped around the clitoris, making hygiene easier.

Before and after

AFTERCARE

After clitoral surgery

1. The day after surgery

   Start sitz baths from the next day.

   • ·Fill a basin with lukewarm (slightly cool) water deep enough to cover your bottom, dissolve a 500-won-coin-sized amount of Clinosan cleansing solution in it, and take a 10-minute sitz bath morning and evening for 2 weeks.
   • ·After each sitz bath, wash your hands thoroughly and apply Vaseline ointment to the surgical wound for 10 days.
   • ·You will be prescribed medication for 5–7 days. If you have heartburn, retching or nausea, stop taking it at once and call us.
   • ·Once you have finished the prescribed painkillers, you may also take Tylenol or the period pain medication you usually take.
   • ·Use an ice pack for 3 days, and wear loose, breathable clothing for 2 weeks.

2. 2–3 days

   Itching in the surgical area is normal.

   Some itching in the surgical area 2–3 days after surgery is normal and a sign that it is healing well. If it is very uncomfortable, please come in to be seen.

3. 1–3 weeks

   You may have some discharge and bleeding.

   • ·Wear a sanitary pad when you go out. At home, let the area air as much as possible.
   • ·If bleeding is heavy, press on the area with gauze or a dry towel. Keep the pad, take a photo of it and send it to us on KakaoTalk.

4. Weeks 3 and 6

   Come in to have your stitches removed.

   • ·How stitches heal varies from person to person depending on skin type, but please come in once in week 3 and once in week 6 after surgery to have them removed. The visit dates may change depending on your condition.
   • ·After the stitches are removed, apply regenerating cream to the surgical area if you have had surgery on the clitoris, labia minora, perineum, accessory folds or labia majora.
   • ·After the stitches are removed, the labia minora and accessory folds may look slightly open or feel itchy. This is caused by skin regeneration and heals naturally as you apply the regenerating ointment, so never pull the area apart to look at it or touch it.

5. 4–6 weeks

   You can have sex 4–6 weeks after surgery, once the doctor has checked your condition.

   Use a lubricant the first time you have sex.

6. 3–4 months

   Swelling takes at least 3–4 months to go down.

   This may vary depending on your condition.

7. Daily life

   Please follow these guidelines in daily life.

   • ·Avoid alcohol, smoking, public baths and saunas for 4 weeks. You may shower from the next day.
   • ·While you recover, avoid rubbing the surgical area, wearing tight underwear or trousers, exercising strenuously, squatting, lifting heavy objects, crossing your legs and cycling. Take care not to put downward pressure on the area.
   • ·After a shower or sitz bath, dry the area with cool air, and after passing urine, gently pat the area dry.
