陰蒂粘連

包皮垢能夠導致從陰蒂包皮到陰蒂頭的炎症和疼痛,甚至導致它們的粘連:
1.累積的包皮垢;2.陰蒂包皮;3.陰蒂頭;4.小陰唇
Smegma can cause irritatation and pain, and even the adhesion of the clitoral hood to the glans:
1 Accumulated smegma
2 clitoral hood  3 clitoral glans
4 minor lips

象陰莖一樣,陰蒂也有產生油性潤滑液的遮蓋物或包皮。這種液體可以讓包皮在光滑與健康的陰蒂頭上滑動。可是,如果性器官沒有適當地清潔乾淨,也就是說如果這種液體沒有經常地清洗掉,它會蓄積起來並變成一種象乾酪樣的物質,稱為包皮垢(smegma)。包皮垢可能變得乾燥並刺激陰蒂。包皮垢的刺激可能相對輕微,也可能導致持續的炎症並產生陰蒂疼痛。確實,隨著時間推移,陰蒂包皮垢可能導致包皮粘連在陰蒂頭和陰蒂體上。正因為這些粘連,陰蒂包皮不能再在陰蒂頭上滑動,這將進而可能導致性行為中陰蒂疼痛。這種病症也可能是某些婦女缺乏性高潮的原因。


 
通過良好的個人衛生,通常能夠避免發生陰蒂粘連,也就是說仔細地清洗陰戶,包括清洗陰蒂頭和陰蒂包皮。為了徹底地清洗陰蒂和陰蒂包皮,少女因此應該熟悉自己的性器官和能夠確定陰蒂頭和陰蒂包皮的位置。如果因為某種原因,如果未能做到陰蒂與陰蒂包皮的充分清潔而且它們持續地發炎,就可能不得不去請教婦科醫生了。仔細的檢查可能會發現陰蒂包皮的開口變得過於狹窄並需要擴展。醫生可能必須剔除累積的陰蒂包皮垢,並且可能不得不在局麻下松解粘連。另一方面,一些婦女從不知道她們的陰蒂發生了粘連,而且即使有粘連存在,也有著充分的性反應。

 

Physical Problems in Females

Clitoral Adhesions

The clitoris, like the penis, has a hood or foreskin that produces a oily, lubricating fluid. This fluid allows the foreskin to move back and forth over the smooth and healthy glans. However, if the sex organs are not properly cleaned, i.e. if the fluid is not washed away regularly, it will accumulate and turn into a cheese-like substance called smegma. This smegma can dry out and irritate the clitoris. The irritation can be relatively mild or lead to a persistent inflammaton and cause severe pain. Indeed, over time, an accumulation of smegma may cause the foreskin to adhere to the glans and body of the clitoris. Because of these adhesions, the foreskin can no longer be moved back and forth over the glans, and this, in turn, can make sexual activity painful. The condition may also be responsible for a lack of orgasm in some women.


Treatment
Clitoral adhesions can usually be avoided by good personal hygiene, i.e. regular careful washing of the vulva, including the glans and foreskin of the clitoris. Young girls should therefore become familiar with their sex organs and be able to locate the clitoris and its foreskin in order to clean them thoroughly. If, for some reason, this should not prove to be sufficient and the irritation persists, a gynecologist may have to be consulted. A careful examination may show that the opening of the foreskin is too narrow and needs to be stretched. The accumulated smegma may have to be removed by a doctor, and the adhesions may have to be released under local anesthesia. On the other hand, some women never become aware of their clitoral adhesions and are sexually fully responsive in spite of them.
