A woman with clitoromegaly

Clitoromegaly[1] (or macroclitoris[2]) is an enlargement of the clitoris that is mostly congenital or acquired, though deliberately induced clitoris enlargement as a form of female genital body modification is achieved through various uses of anabolic steroids, including testosterone.[3][4][5][6] Clitoromegaly is not the same as normal enlargement of the clitoris seen during sexual arousal.[7]

Presentation

The different grade of genital ambiguity is commonly measured by the Prader classification,[8] which ranges, in ascending order of masculinisation, from 1: female external genitalia with clitoromegaly through 5: pseudo-phallus looking like normal male external genitalia.[9][7]
