What are the treatments for labia majora hypertrophy?

The labia come in different sizes and are part of the vaginal opening. Under normal circumstances, the labia protect against the invasion of bacteria or foreign objects. However, when the labia majora are thickened, it will cause discomfort at the vaginal opening. The impact is usually not significant, but it will be affected during sexual intercourse. Therefore, if the labia majora is found to be thick, treatment is needed to improve the shape of the labia majora and restore them to normal. What are the treatments for labia majora hypertrophy?

In the eyes of most people, the labia majora located in the female perineum are just two insignificant skin folds. How can they have any function? In fact, this idea is wrong! So what are the functions of the labia majora? How important are they? In fact, the labia majora are an indispensable part of the female external genitalia. In the early embryonic stage, the reproductive organs of men and women originate from the same germ. As the embryo develops, it gradually differentiates into male and female, and the genitals show gender differences. However, some of their structures and functions are still extremely similar. The female clitoris is equivalent to the male penis, or it can be said to be a smaller penis. Both have rich nerve endings and are extremely sensitive to stimulation from the opposite sex. The female labia majora is equivalent to the male scrotum. The male scrotum is the loyal guardian of the testicles and plays a vital role in the production of sperm and male hormones by the testicles. Therefore, labia majora plastic surgery is quite necessary.

1. Direct excision method

This method generally only requires cutting (snipping) the excess labia majora tissue and rolling it outward and suturing it while providing local analgesia. However, the base tissue of the labia minora is thicker. If only simple trimming is performed, the edges of the newly formed labia minora will inevitably be thicker, which is very unnatural. Therefore, necessary treatment must be done according to the thick base to achieve the ideal labia majora plastic surgery effect.

2. Skin flap method

For cases with thick base and large labia minora, mucosal flap method can also be used for repair in order to achieve the ideal plastic surgery effect. The specific labia majora plastic surgery method adopts different designs according to the different shapes of the labia minora. The advantage of this method is that after removing excess tissue, the sutured wound will be more concealed and have a good shape, with little trauma and a natural shape after surgery.

Labiaplasty is a minimally invasive gynecological surgery. The labia majora are two skin folds. Under standard conditions, they should be plump and elastic, with the outer edge exceeding the labia minora and in a naturally closed state, covering the urethra and vaginal opening. They expand during intercourse and have the function of clamping and gripping the penis. If it cannot close naturally or expand during sexual intercourse, it is considered substandard. Labiaplasty can be performed on patients. Dermal fat grafting is a better plastic surgery method. It is performed under local analgesia, with little pain, good results and quick recovery.

Hypertrophy of the labia majora is extremely harmful, and patients can undergo labiaplasty treatment. This treatment can be performed in a local regular hospital or a regular beauty hospital. Some patients have very severe labia hypertrophy, so the treatment method must be chosen carefully. In fact, labiaplasty treatment is the same as general disease treatment. As long as preoperative preparation and postoperative care are done well, no disease discomfort will occur.
