Add section for clitoral adhesions + clitoris diagrams are inaccurate

[edit]

I’m not a Wikipedia editor but wondering if someone can add this since the page is locked. Clitoral adhesions are present in 23% of women but most people (including most doctors) don’t know about them or how to accurately determine if they’re present. This is important as treatment of clitoral adhesions results in an improvement in pain, sexual arousal and ability to achieve orgasm - obstacles a lot of women think have no cause/solution. Anecdotally, I’ve seen a lot of women and girls who can’t find their clitoris and don’t seek help because they think they must just not understand what the clitoris is (severe adhesions bury the clitoris - mentioning different severities would help). I think it having its own specific and detailed section (or page or whatever format it should be) would go a long way to correcting this.

Also, every diagram on this page is inaccurate as none of them include the corona of the clitoris - it’s missing visually and also not labelled. This is a big reason why people don’t know about clitoral adhesions.

Tagging @Crossroads as their previous edit on a picture on this page was one of the only mentions of clitoral adhesions I’ve seen on Wikipedia. (Thank you to Crossroads for that!) 121.200.5.242 (talk) 02:23, 5 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don't remember making that edit but it's certainly possible I forgot by now. In any case, I encourage you to find reliable medical sources that support the changes you want to make; once that is done and you know exactly what you want to change, you can make an WP:Edit request.
