What should I do if my labia minora is hypoplastic?

Women will begin to develop after reaching a certain age, but due to some factors, women may also experience developmental abnormalities, and labia hypoplasia is one of them. There are many types of labia hypoplasia, and hairy labia minora is one of them. In this type of situation, appropriate treatment measures need to be taken in a timely manner, otherwise it will pose a greater threat to women's health.

Hairy labia minora generally have no symptoms. It is more common in young women and can occur in both unmarried and married women. The age of onset is mainly between 18 and 40 years old, and the incidence rate is about 16%-18%.

The clinical manifestations are pink papules on the inner side of the female labia minora, which are 1-2 mm in size, multiple, clustered, granular, fused into pieces, and symmetrically distributed on the left and right. Another manifestation is the presence of villous protrusions, like carpet fluff. Patients often have egg white-like leucorrhea and occasional itching of the vulva.

The cause of the disease is still unclear. Some people suggest that it is related to fungal infection; others believe that it is related to glandular hyperplasia caused by long-term chronic nonspecific stimulation or friction of the vulva. Its clinical manifestations are significantly different from those of genital warts.

Hairy labia minora are self-limiting and may remain unchanged for a long time. If it is caused by irritation of secretions or inflammation (such as excessive leucorrhea), find out the cause. Treat symptomatically. If it is a developmental abnormality (physiological variation of the genital mucosa), no treatment is required. Laser treatment can easily cause scarring, so it is best not to use it.

To prevent hairy labia minora, patients need to keep the vulva clean in daily life, wash the vulva frequently, urinate after sexual intercourse, keep themselves clean, and avoid having multiple sexual partners to increase the risk of infection.

Patients with hairy labia minora do not need to pay special attention to their diet and can eat normally.

Patients with hairy labia minora also need to pay more attention to maintaining genital hygiene and try to use warm water to wash their genitals every day. In addition, it is necessary to keep your emotions stable, because emotional factors will also have a certain impact on the body's hormone secretion. Of course, diet is also very important. You can try to eat more foods rich in vitamins.
