Can I have surgery if my labia is big?

The vagina is a key location for women. The structure of the vagina is very sophisticated. Therefore, it is difficult for women to maintain their vagina. However, the shape of each woman's private parts is different. For women with enlarged labia minora, what actual health harm will it cause? Can surgery be performed to treat it?

When the distance from the positioning point at the base of the vulva to the middle of the two sides of the labia minora exceeds 4 cm, it is called hypertrophy of the labia minora. The thick labia minora have various shapes, most of which look like the inside of a spaniel's ear or a pig's ear. Labia minora hypertrophy can be symmetrical or asymmetrical (one side is larger than the other. Labia minora hypertrophy can be either congenital or non-hereditary.

The best way is to undergo corrective surgery for labia minora hypertrophy. This surgical treatment only needs to be performed under local anesthesia. The surgical method is to close the labia majora on both sides, take the height ratio of the two outer vulva edges as the reference line, draw a parallel wound line 0.5cm higher than the labia majora on the labia minora, and the inner wound line is 0.5-1.0c higher than the wound lines on both sides, so that the wound line is located on both sides of the labia minora. After removing the thickened labia minora on both sides, roll up the sutures to both sides. Patients should pay attention to keeping their private parts clean and dry after the operation. The stitches can usually be removed 5-6 days after the operation.

Enlarged labia minora can be treated through labiaplasty, but it should be noted that labiaplasty has higher requirements for doctors. Therefore, you must choose a reliable hospital and a trustworthy doctor for the surgery to ensure the effectiveness of the surgery.

Severe enlargement of the labia minora can cause discomfort in sitting and walking, affect urination, and cause great confusion. Therefore, many people who want to eliminate the enlargement through labia minora plastic surgery are more concerned about the safety factor.

With the continuous development of the medical cosmetic industry, the correction of labia minora hypertrophy and various surgical procedures have been continuously improved in recent years. Today's labiaplasty can minimize surgical scars, maintain bilateral symmetry and natural color, and achieve the goal of both reconstruction and beauty. However, since the labia minora is an important part of a woman's private tissue, which is distributed with many tiny nerves, if the surgeon does not understand the female reproductive anatomy, it is easy to cause nerve damage during surgery and cause numbness of the labia minora. Therefore, the safety of labia minora plastic surgery depends on whether the surgeon selected by the patient is experienced and has solid skills.
