The clitoris is the most important organ for women’s sexual life, located at the point where the inner labia meet in the genital area. It is the most vital organ of the genital area and sexual life. It is located where the inner labia meet at the upper part. The clitoris has numerous nerve endings and is very sensitive. Due to its sensitivity, it must be protected, thus it is covered by a thin layer of skin called the prepuce (preputium).

Clitoral hood reduction is not performed on individuals under the age of 18. Additionally, if the prepuce tissue is very thin and short, and if the clitoris will be exposed after the surgery, it should never be performed.
