Sonography of the Clitoris

Abstract: Introduction The prevalence of invasive procedures in diagnosing female sexual dysfunctions and pathologies is high. There is a need for a less invasive evaluation tool and medical imaging of the clitoris may be a solution. The clitoris has already been studied with nuclear magnetic resonance but there are very few sonographic 2D and 3D studies despite the fact that it is a simple, noninvasive, and inexpensive method.

“…The majority of clitoral anatomy is internal, consisting primarily of two clitoral bodies and two clitoral bulbs that partially surround the vagina and form a vaulted structure above the anterior vaginal wall (O'Connell, et al, 1998; Suh, et al, 2003; O'Connell, Sanjeevan, and Hutson, 2005; Buisson, Foldes, and Paniel, 2008; Foldes and Buisson, 2009; O'Connell, et al, 2008). This small area appears to be erotically responsive as when Foldes and Buisson (2009) asked five women to “press with their fingers on their most pleasurable anterior vaginal area” during an ultrasound of their genitals, the ultrasound visualization of the pressing finger was near the double vaulted structure formed by the clitoral bulbs and bodies.…”

“…Battaglia et al (2010), Buisson et al (2008), Foldès et Buisson (2009), Gravina et al (2008) sont autant d'auteurs qui ont contribué à l'avancement de nos connaissances sur l'anatomie fonctionnelle et tridimensionnelle du clitoris. Ces études ont montré que le clitoris ne se limitait pas à son gland, mais comportait un corps (coude), des tissus ischiocaverneux qui se prolongent (comme chez l'homme) en piliers (crura) latéraux, et des tissus bulbospongieux qui longent la vulve, entre le complexe urétral et vaginal.…”

“…Suite à ces premières images tridimensionnelles, Foldès et Buisson (2009) et Buisson et al (2008 ont réalisé des montages virtuels filmographiques démontrant la mobilisation du complexe clitoro-urétro-vaginal durant le rapport sexuel et mettant une fois de plus en évidence le point G et son rôle dans la réponse sexuelle.…”

“…Si l'imagerie de l'échographie du clitoris est assez superposable à celle de la RMN [13], elle permet en outre de rendre compte de la mobilité du clitoris lors des contractions périnéales Plus la contraction est forte, plus le clitoris est mobilisé [14]. Or les contractions périnéales sont très importantes lors de l'activité sexuelle : contractions réflexe lors de la pénétration [15], contractions volontaires pour mieux ressentir le pénis lors des mouvements coïtaux et enfin série de contractions réflexe lors de l'orgasme [16].…”
