When is labia majora surgery necessary?

Women all love beauty very much, not only their external appearance, but also pursue perfection in all aspects. For example, many women have enlarged labia minora. Although it will not cause direct harm, they still want to have plastic surgery. They just don’t know which situation is suitable for labia majora surgery. So, in what situations is labia hypertrophy surgery necessary? Let’s take a closer look below.

Not every woman wants to have labia minora plastic surgery if it affects her normal life, such as causing friction, pain, infection, etc. Especially when the labia minora rubs uncomfortably while walking, affecting urine flow or direction, or even sexual life, labiaplasty may be considered after a gynecological examination.

However, there is a standard range for enlarged labia minora: the labia minora extend beyond the labia majora by more than 1.0 cm and protrude outside the labia majora. The enlarged labia minora appear dark brown, curled and ugly, and the shape makes people feel uncomfortable. It will also affect your sex life.

If the labia minora is significantly enlarged, the enlarged part will be removed to form a new standard labia minora. After the operation, the newly formed labia minora will regain natural color, be of moderate size, and have a beautiful appearance. There will be no local scars and no postoperative sequelae. The operation is performed under local anesthesia, takes a short time, and you can go home immediately after the operation. The stitches will be removed after one week.

The surgery for labia minora hypertrophy should be performed away from the menstrual period and pregnancy period. It is best to perform the surgery 3 to 14 days after the menstrual period. Smoking must also be strictly prohibited for one week, as smoking reduces the concentration of oxygen in the blood and affects wound healing. Drinking alcohol should be stopped within 24 hours before the surgery, as drinking alcohol accelerates blood circulation and increases bleeding during the operation. Keep your genitals clean and wash them frequently. In addition, before the operation, you should actively cooperate with the doctor, tell the doctor the facts, and form a good interactive communication to ensure that the operation is foolproof.

The above is an introduction to the situations in which labia hypertrophy surgery is needed. I hope it will be helpful for women to understand. Labiaplasty surgery is not suitable for all women, and generally does not cause adverse effects. However, in some cases where it may have an adverse effect on life or sexual intercourse, it is best to go to a regular hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time to prevent more serious consequences.
