Causes of long labia minora

Many women usually forget how to take care of their bodies when they face great pressure in life. Many people also fail to find out in time when they have symptoms of long labia minora. If you are not careful, you can't find such symptoms at all. When the labia minora is normal, the size of both sides is the same. If the labia minora suddenly becomes larger, such abnormal phenomenon makes women very worried. So what is the reason for the long labia minora?

Women with long labia may feel pain in the genitals due to the friction between the enlarged labia minora and the underwear when walking. It can also cause pain due to squeezing and friction when riding a bicycle. During intercourse, the penis is pulled into the vagina when inserted, causing inconvenience. Some people may also experience severe pain due to squeezing during intercourse, which is very painful.

In addition, the enlarged labia minora appear dark brown, curled, ugly, and not beautiful in shape. Long labia minora can easily bring bacteria into the vagina, causing vaginal infection and causing women to be infected with gynecological diseases such as vaginitis and cervicitis.

Therefore, if a woman's labia minora is too long, she can choose labia minora reduction surgery. This surgery only needs to be performed under local anesthesia and is less painful. After removing the enlarged labia minora on both sides, the labia minora are rolled outwards and sutured. After the operation, the labia minora is restored to a natural color, moderate in size, and beautiful in appearance, without any sequelae, which reduces a lot of troubles for women.

If the labia foreskin is too long, secretions from the vaginal opening will accumulate between the labia foreskin and the labia head. If the foreskin is not turned over and cleaned carefully in time, the dirt can stimulate the mucous membrane to produce chronic inflammation. Over time, the labia and foreskin may adhere to each other, and the labia head may feel uncomfortable, which may also make you feel uncomfortable during sexual intercourse. The best treatment method is to remove the excessive labia foreskin and separate the labia head after anesthesia.

The surgical method is to make a "工"-shaped incision on the skin on the back of the labia. The skin flap was separated to both sides to expose the dorsal labia majora nerve and blood vessels, and the dorsal labia majora neurovascular bundle was separated. The labia minora is reduced in size by removing the enlarged corpora cavernosa and performing a wedge-shaped excision of the enlarged labia majora. The wedge-shaped wound of the labia head is sutured and fixed to the root of the labia. The labia skin is folded on itself and sutured to form part of the labia minora. This not only forms the normal shape of the female external genitalia, but also retains the sensitivity of the labia majora.

When the distance between the center point of the base of the labia minora to the outer edge of the labia minora is greater than 4 cm, it is called labia minora hypertrophy. The shapes of enlarged labia minora vary. Enlarged labia minora can be symmetrical or asymmetrical (different sizes on both sides). It can be congenital or acquired. Most of the acquired labia minora hypertrophy is caused by long-term chronic local stimulation or continuous friction. The enlarged labia minora is not only unsightly in appearance, but also causes psychological disorders in some patients and brings a lot of inconvenience to patients' lives. For example, enlarged labia minora may cause discomfort due to local compression and friction when exercising, walking, cycling or sitting for a long time. Or during menstruation, there may be pain due to friction from sanitary napkins. Some patients may experience obstruction or pain during sexual intercourse. Therefore, 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. Currently, labia minora hypertrophy surgery is being carried out. After this surgery, the newly formed labia minora regains its natural color, becomes moderate in size, and has a beautiful appearance. There are no local scars and no surgical sequelae.

The above introduces the reasons why the labia minora are too long. Such reasons can be physiological or pathological. If it is physiological, then there is no need to worry about it. However, if the labia minora are too long, it will definitely have a great impact on your sexual life. Therefore, you must check the reasons why your labia minora are too long and then treat them in time. For the treatment of long labia minora, many people will choose surgery to remove them. This treatment is very safe and it is recommended to choose it with confidence.
