This gap in education is a patient safety issue and gender inequality issue. I have been trying to email textbook authors, residency program directors, and professional organizations with minimal luck. I’d appreciate any advice or support people could offer. If I could just get this anatomy added to OB/GYN board exams, that would force a change nation-wide. But this would require women demanding it be considered important. Knowledge of this anatomy is important for understanding function and dysfunction and for safe surgery.

I personally had the dorsal nerves of my clitoris cut in a clitoral hood reduction performed without my consent during a labiaplasty. My labia minora were completely removed and the the glans and some of the body were rendered insensate.
