What are the dangers of labia minora removal?

The labia minora is a protective umbrella located around the outer opening of the female vagina. It is mainly responsible for protecting the cleanliness of the vagina and preventing bacteria from growing in the female vaginal opening. However, many women have undergone labia minora removal surgery for other reasons. For example, some women's labia minora grow relatively large, which may affect their normal sexual function and toileting; the shape of the labia minora is rather strange, and many people think it is too ugly and psychologically unacceptable; and because of frequent erosion and inflammation, bacteria can breed at the vaginal opening, causing gynecological diseases, etc. However, removing the labia minora can also bring various other harms to women.

Condition Analysis:

1. During the operation, the labia majora on each side is removed in a "V" shape from the most prominent part.

2. The outer part of the "V" shape that is removed usually bends toward the side and front to facilitate the removal of excess lateral lips and lateral clitoral hood.

3. Then sew the two ends of the "V" shape properly.

4. After the operation, the appearance of the genitals will be normal and natural, and no scars will be produced.

5. The use of the middle wedge resection method to reduce the labia minora and clitoral hood is safe and effective, with few complications after surgery and high patient satisfaction. Horizontal V-shaped excision is suitable for cases with long labia minora, which can shorten its length to the greatest extent, but the reduction of width will be limited.

The blood supply of the labia minora mainly comes from the internal pudendal artery, and the main trunk is still at the upper end. The design of wedge resection is reasonable and blood supply obstruction will not easily occur.

Labiaplasty surgery requires the following:

1. The width of the pedicle should be greater than 1.5cm;

2. The width of the tongue-shaped flap distal end should be greater than 0.5cm;

3. The length-to-width ratio of the single-pedicled tongue-shaped flap can reach 3-4:1.

Possible risks of labiaplasty include:

Bleeding is mostly caused by incomplete hemostasis during surgery or loose ligature. If you experience these symptoms, you should seek medical attention immediately. Infection: Failure to effectively control vulvar inflammation before surgery, failure to pay attention to aseptic operation or rough surgical operation, and urine contamination of the incision after surgery can all lead to incision infection. After infection occurs, some sutures should be removed to ensure smooth drainage, bed rest, and antibacterial drugs should be used. Impact on sexual life Improper handling before, during and after labiaplasty will have a certain impact on the future sexual life of the couple. The labia minora prevent pathogens from entering the vulva. If they are partially removed, it will be prone to gynecological inflammation.

There are many different surgical methods for labia minora plastic surgery. The traditional method is to remove the excess labia minora edges in a straight line and then suture them. However, this surgery will damage the normal edges of the labia minora and is likely to cause incision scars and deform the labia minora. The private parts are different from other parts of the body and are sensitive and prone to infection. Therefore, when facing private parts plastic surgery, you must think carefully.
