Text Appearing Before Image:
hthe term hypertrophy may be applied. It has been supposedthat unusual size of the clitoris depended on unusual exerciseof the sexual function; but Parent-Duchatelet showed thatthere is no relation between the size of the clitoris and thesexual activity of the owner. Cases of very large clitorisdescribed in old books were probably males with hypospadias.
