What is Clitoral Atrophy?
Clitoral Atrophy is when the clitoris stops responding to stimulation and begins to shrink. Scary I know. This can occur due to hormonal changes, disuse and lack of blood flow.
Since the clitoris is crucial to female orgasm, this atrophy can affect a women’s sexual appetite. Making it impossible to experience an Orgasm!
But not to worry just yet, it can be as simple as whipping out your favourite intimate toy to get things going and stimulated. The clitoris is made up of a sponge-like tissue and is visible at the front of the vagina. When aroused, blood rushes to this area. So when you have clitoral atrophy, your clitoris stops responding to sexual arousal, making it difficult to enjoy sexual intercourse.
A lot of ladies think they have low libido but could actually have clitoral atrophy. The clitoris relies on sufficient blood flow and testosterone for arousal and general health. If you don’t stimulate the clitoris regularly it will eventually become dry, thin and shrink into the clitoral head.
There are some key activities that could prevent and assist with Clitoral Atrophy.
• Frequent Sex & Masturbation – Yes get going, this will help to get the blood flow and increase stimulation!
• Use of Toys, especially the suction ones – This is the best treatment ever for clitoral atrophy, because of the structure of the clitoris, you need the stimulation to reach down into the complete structure of the clitoris, into the legs and roots, because of the deep and resonant vibrations. This helps you experience a full-bodied orgasm.
• Moisture, meaning lubrication – this can assist with increasing the sensation in your clitoris and help with blood circulation too. These can be used with the toys for play too.
• Get moving – cardiovascular exercise is great for blood flow for the entire body including pumping blood to the clitoris. Exercises such as swimming, cycling, running, and those exercises that get your heart rate going.
