== Clitoral Enlargement Methods ==

'''Clitoral enlargement methods''' are techniques that are intended to increase the size of the [[clitoris]]. These methods can be both non-surgical and surgical, and are often sought by individuals who are undergoing [[female to male]] [[gender transition]] or by those who experience [[clitoral atrophy]] due to hormonal imbalances.

=== Pronunciation ===
* /ˈklɪtərəl ɪnˈlɑːrdʒmənt ˈmɛθədz/

=== Etymology ===
The term "clitoral enlargement methods" is derived from the Latin ''clitoridis'' (pertaining to the clitoris) and the English words "enlargement" (meaning to make larger) and "methods" (meaning a procedure for accomplishing a task).

=== Non-Surgical Methods ===
Non-surgical methods for clitoral enlargement include the use of [[hormone therapy]], specifically the administration of [[testosterone]]. This hormone can cause the clitoris to grow in size, a process known as [[clitoromegaly]]. Other non-surgical methods include manual stimulation and the use of [[vacuum pump]] devices.

=== Surgical Methods ===
Surgical methods for clitoral enlargement, also known as [[clitoroplasty]], involve procedures that aim to increase the size of the clitoris and preserve its sensitivity. These procedures are often performed as part of [[sex reassignment surgery]].
