Macrogenitalia is a medical term for abnormally large genitals or parts of genitals. It is not strictly an intersex trait, but it often is a result of many intersex variations, especially variations related to hormone overproduction.
Macropenis
A macropenis, macrophallus, or megalopenis is an unusually large penis. The largest recorded human penis was that of cisgender male Jonah Falcon, which measured 13.5 inches erect.
Those with a macropenis may experience light-headedness when erect, due to the amount of blood rushing down.
Macroorchidism
Macroorchidism is the condition of having abnormally large testes. This usually causes a higher production of male hormones, or is caused by the overproduction of male hormones.
This trait is usually due to Fragile X syndrome.
Macrovagina
A macrovagina is a non-medical slang term for an abnormally large vagina. This includes the labia, clitoris, or vaginal canal.
Labial hypertrophy
Labial hypertrophy is the condition of having abnormally large labia. This may cause discomfort when wearing tight clothes or friction sensitivity that is higher than usual. This may happen due to pregnancy, intersex traits, and/or puberty.
Clitoromegaly
Clitoromegaly is the condition of having an abnormally large clitoris (a macroclitoris), possibly resembling a small penis. This may be due to intersex traits, overexposure of testosterone, or HRT within transmasculine people. This may be considered a subset of ambiguous genitalia, and one born with this trait may be assigned female or male, depending on the appearance of their genitalia.
