Diagnosis and treatment of labia minora

Our female friends' labia minora will cause pressure when we walk in daily life, and long-term friction will cause adverse symptoms. It will have a certain impact on our urination and sexual life. Patients must pay attention to avoid putting psychological burden on themselves in daily life. This type of disease is not something that is difficult to hide, so if we encounter this type of disease in our daily life, we should face it correctly and receive appropriate treatment.

Diagnosis and Differentiation

If the labia minora are thickened or enlarged, and are obviously exposed, exceeding the labia majora by more than 1.0 cm, causing discomfort when walking due to friction between the labia minora, affecting urine flow or the direction of urine flow, and even affecting sexual life, labia reduction surgery may be considered.

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. After labia minora hypertrophy surgery, the newly formed labia minora regains its natural color, is of moderate size, and has a beautiful appearance. There are no local scars and no surgical complications.

Surgical treatment

According to relevant experts, when enlarged labia minora causes a certain burden on life and psychology, it can be corrected through labiaplasty, and surgery is also the only way to treat enlarged labia minora. Labia minora reduction surgery should be performed away from menstruation and pregnancy. Generally, a longitudinal fusiform excision is performed on the outer side of the labia minora. Before the operation, it is necessary to pay attention to cleaning the vulva. The surgery is performed in the lithotomy position and local infiltration anesthesia is used. Generally, a longitudinal fusiform incision about 2.5 cm long is made on the outer side of the labia minora. After removing the skin and pushing the soft tissue inward, strict hemostasis is performed and the incision is sutured with fine silk thread.

If the labia minora is significantly enlarged, the enlarged part will be removed to form a new standard labia minora. After the operation, the newly formed labia minora will regain natural color, be of moderate size, and have a beautiful appearance. There will be no local scars and no postoperative sequelae. The operation is performed under local anesthesia, takes a short time, and you can go home immediately after the operation. The stitches will be removed after one week.

Labia minora surgery is relatively simple. This type of simple surgery can quickly resolve the symptoms of the disease for female friends and has no sequelae. For female friends, the condition of exposed labia minora can be treated promptly, so female friends must not put psychological burden on themselves.
