Shrinking clitoris - Sorry to have to ask !

I'm not aware of my clitoris shrinking but my minor labia have certainly shrunk considerably. I went to the Dr about a month ago and she says all is fine and healthy. The shrinkage is an age thing usually together with vaginal atrophy.

I had actually googled it before the appointment.
I have never had HRT even though I went into menopause at 40. I am now 70.

She gave me a local hrt pessary, tiny like a pill and it is inserted using an applicator rather like the old tampons. Though I think that is more for the dryness ..... And will save me a fortune in KY Jelly.

Honestly, it seemed like my minor labia were as always, and then one day they were half their size.

sorry hells, I thought you were a strange 14 year old . I have vaginal atrophy if that helps....its grand isn't it?

Haven’t looked lately, must put that on my to do list

Please remember that the clitoris is a lot more spacious than the visible tip that shows inside the labia minora.

Thanks for the replies, maybe a trip to the Drs is on the cards.I

Lily65 no I've been here a few years .

Everything shrinks----even the brain !

nice user name. Are you new here?

Esspee I wasn't aware that the menopause was optional!

Maybe see the doctor. I am not worried to be honest.

Please remember that size does not matter.

I understood that atrophy of all the female attributes was a natural consequence of menopause so I opted not to go through that. I was 40 when I had my ovaries etc. removed. After 30 years of oestrogen replacement therapy everything is plump and functioning.
I have no intention of ever going through the menopause, and having chosen oestrogen implants I only have to have the oestrogen implanted twice a year so there is very little inconvenience.
Why not investigate whether you could start on oestrogen therapy to reverse the shrinkage OP. My only advice would be to ensure you take it transdermally not orally, so implants, patches, gel etc. Not pills. Good luck.

I haven't measured it but believe it's remained the same, certainly functions as it should.
