Yes, in many cases, the created clitoris can enlarge with arousal similar to a cisgender clitoris. The clitoris is a highly sensitive organ that plays a key role in sexual arousal and pleasure. During arousal, the clitoris can become engorged with blood, causing it to increase in size and sensitivity.
In clitoroplasty, the surgeon creates or enhances the clitoral structure to resemble a natural clitoris. This includes preserving or enhancing the nerve endings and blood supply to the clitoral area to promote sexual sensation and arousal.
As the body heals after clitoroplasty and the surgical site settles, many individuals report experiencing increased sensitivity and responsiveness in the clitoral area. Like a cisgender clitoris, the created clitoris can respond to sexual stimulation and become engorged with blood during arousal.
It’s important to note that each person’s experience with clitoroplasty and sexual arousal is unique. Factors such as individual anatomy, surgical technique, and overall healing can influence the level of sensitivity and size changes during arousal. Additionally, individual perceptions and sensations related to arousal may vary.
If you have specific concerns or questions about the results of clitoroplasty or sexual arousal after surgery, it’s essential to discuss them openly with your healthcare provider or gender-affirming surgeon. They can provide you with personalized guidance and support to ensure your satisfaction and well-being throughout the gender-affirming process.
