The main function of the clitoris is to induce sexual pleasure. If your clitoral hood, the tissue surrounding or covering the clitoris, is large and redundant, it can cause inadequate stimulation to the clitoris. A clitoral reduction, or hoodectomy, is a simple procedure to remove this excess tissue to allow the clitoris to be stimulated easily. The result is increased sensitivity and increased ability to achieve orgasm.
