Swollen labia minora

Although the size of each person's labia minora is somewhat different, if it is more than 1 cm larger than the labia majora, it will not only affect a person's normal life, such as causing discomfort due to friction when walking, but may even affect urinary flow and sexual life between couples. In short, the problem of swollen labia minora can be serious or minor. In order not to affect life, it is recommended that women with this condition choose professional plastic surgery treatment to embrace a happy life again.

If the labia minora are thickened or enlarged, and are obviously exposed, exceeding the labia majora by more than 1.0 cm, causing discomfort when walking due to friction between the labia minora, affecting urine flow or the direction of urine flow, and even affecting sexual life, labia reduction surgery may be considered.

When labia minora hypertrophy affects normal life, surgical treatment should be performed. However, for some reasons, most patients are ashamed to see a doctor, thinking that it is a shameful disease and endure the pain in silence. This is a very wrong idea. After labia minora hypertrophy surgery, the newly formed labia minora regains its natural color, is of moderate size, and has a beautiful appearance. There are no local scars and no surgical complications.

Surgical treatment

According to relevant experts, when enlarged labia minora causes a certain burden on life and psychology, it can be corrected through labiaplasty, and surgery is also the only way to treat enlarged labia minora. Labia minora reduction surgery should be performed away from menstruation and pregnancy. Generally, a longitudinal fusiform excision is performed on the outer side of the labia minora. Before the operation, it is necessary to pay attention to cleaning the vulva. The surgery is performed in the lithotomy position and local infiltration anesthesia is used. Generally, a longitudinal fusiform incision about 2.5 cm long is made on the outer side of the labia minora. After removing the skin, the soft tissue is pushed inward, and strict bleeding is performed. The incision is sutured with fine silk thread.
