enlarged clitoris
Im 15 years old and sexually active with my boyfriend. The past few weeks we havent been having sex because im embarassed about my clitoris. ITS HUGE all the time, its prolly almost 2 inches long. Am i turning into a man or is it sumthing else? please help. Scared.....
I have an enlarged clit and from what I was told, it was a good thing. Its nothing wrong with it, but of course Im a little older so the perspective from others may be a little different. Also you should be happy with what you got, being that you are different makes you special. Dont try to alter anything. I love being Sdifferent :-)
Omg Whats With The 15 year old age hahaha? i am also 15, ive never thought i was a guy for having a englarged clit or a hermaphrodite, i just worry what people will think of me ( Guys) in bed. But its reassuring knowing im not the only one:D
If you have been diagnosed with or suspect you might have PCOS please, please see an Endocrinologist. Non-classical Adrenal Hyperplasia is often miss diagnosed as PCOS and in later years your adrenals can crash... sudden death
There is a medical condition that can cause ambiguous genitalia. Where the girl is all girl but looks like boy. Labia closes and clitoris is enlarged. This condition is called Classical Adrenal Hyperplasia. This can be life threatening and is detected at birth.
The NON-Classical Adrenal Hyperplasia or similar disorder is what you may have. Both forms of this is the result of the body missing an enzyme to make hydrocortisone or cortisol. I don't know what the normal size is but if you think it is too large ask your doctor to check you hormone levels.
Late onset Non-classical hyperplasia can happen later in life.
Either way your adrenal glands are affected and your body makes more male hormones. But when the adrenals become tired or exhausted it can be life threatening because your adrenals are making insufficient hydrocortisone. Chronic fatique syndrome etc..l... can manifest ....

CHECK WITH YOUR DOCTOR. I can't believe some of these comments here. NEVER, NEVER, NEVER be EMBARASSED to talk to your Doctor.
You don't have to talk to your mother if you feel uncomfortable. Just pick up the phone and make an appointment. If your Doctor dismisses it without doing proper tests, Find Another Doctor. Better savfe than sorry.
