Post circumcision clitoridal cyst; the unique sexual phenomenon before and after surgery

ABSTRACT

In this work, 57 cases of clitoridal cysts were studied for their relation to circumcision and their sexuality. Different pathogenetic factors were identified. Sexuality was assessed by sexual questionnaire sheet. The development of clitoridal cyst was associated with a compensatory increase in all sex scores, so as to reach nearly the total sexuality gain recorded for the uncircumcised controls. The development of clitorolabial orientation after its previous loss by circumcision explains the occurrence of this unique phenomenon of stimulated sex following the formation of such cysts
