Clitoral Vasocongestion

Meaning

Clitoral Vasocongestion is the physiological process involving the engorgement of the clitoris with blood, resulting in its swelling and heightened sensitivity, which is a key component of the female sexual response cycle. This hemodynamic event is mediated by the parasympathetic nervous system and is a necessary physical manifestation of sexual arousal and readiness. Adequate vasocongestion is crucial for achieving optimal sexual function, comfort, and pleasure. Clinically, assessing this response helps in diagnosing aspects of female sexual dysfunction related to arousal and blood flow dynamics.
