Clitorism

Clitorism ( /ˈklɪtərɪzəm/; from Latin: clitorismus, Greek: κλειτορίς kleitoris + -ισμός ismos) is a continued, painful condition in the female with recurring erection of the clitoris. The word is also used to describe an abnormal enlargement of the clitoris. Clitorism is painful, much like its male counterpart, priapism.

It can be associated with other symptoms.
