A member asked:

What's the reason why a clitoral hood would suddenly cover the head of the clitoris (i'm a virgin and no known recollection of injuring myself there)?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It is normal: There are many variations to the clitoral anatomy. It also depends upon how you examine yourself in the mirror. If you pull the labia majora upwards near the clitoris , you can see the head of the clitoris ( glans) better. You need not worry.Zk.
