What should I do if my labia minora is too long and falls out of my labia majora?

If the labia minora is too long, it will have a great impact on the female body, so when this happens, timely treatment is needed. Too long labia minora is a developmental deformity, which is usually caused by congenital factors. Therefore, the specific treatment needs to be based on the severity of the deformity. Most of them may require surgical treatment. So what should you do if your labia minora is very long and falls out of your labia majora?

1. If the labia minora is too long due to a congenital developmental problem, and if you feel that it affects your normal life or affects your sexual life and causes inconvenience in daily life, you can undergo surgery to remove the excess labia minora. Generally, the wound will heal completely in about 7 days after the operation. You can have sexual intercourse one month after the operation, and it is recommended to keep the local area clean, change underwear or sanitary napkins frequently to avoid local pathogen infection, and avoid eating sour, spicy and irritating foods.

2. If your labia minora are too long, you can consider labiaplasty. There are many commonly used labia minora reduction surgeries in clinical practice, the basic ones being arcuate excision and suture, wedge excision and suture, and epidermal removal and suture. The remaining procedures are mostly modifications and combinations of the above basic procedures. During the operation, efforts should be made to maintain the natural shape, skin color and local function of the labia minora. At the same time, excessive surgical trauma should be avoided, scar tissue should be hidden and reduced, and adhesion formation should be prevented. The operation should be minimally invasive, safe, with few complications and rapid postoperative recovery, so as to achieve the natural and beautiful appearance of the labia minora.

3. Pay attention to postoperative care: To use potassium permanganate, wrap one tablet in white paper and grind it into powder, then divide it into seven small portions and use one small portion each time. From the second to the fourth day after the operation, the perineum is cleaned with potassium permanganate water, and no sitz bath is allowed. Sitz baths are started on the fifth day after the operation. Connect the water for sitz bath, the temperature of which should be around 39 degrees, shake the powder into the water, and when the water turns to light purple (not too dark, as this can easily burn the skin and leave pigmentation), use something like chopsticks to fully dissolve the powder without any residue, then you can take a sitz bath. If the water temperature is low, add hot water at any time. Sit for 15-20 minutes each time, once or twice a day, for a total of seven to ten days. Do not take a sitz bath during menstruation.
