Overview
Clitorism (/Template:IPA/), from the German "Clitorismus", in turn from the Greek kleitoris + ismos, is the female counterpart of priapism. A long continued, painful condition in the female with recurring erection of the clitoris. The word is also used to describe an abnormal enlargement of the clitoris.
Signs and symptoms
'Clitorism is painful, much like priapism is for men. Men and women alike may feel ashamed of seeking medical attention; especially men, since the condition is much more visible.
Treatment
Clitorism is nearly impossible to treat since the female genitals are mostly on the inside.
