What causes labia majora?

The labia majora of a woman can be said to be the most private part of a woman. Apart from herself, this place can only be seen by her loved ones. If this place is diseased, it will not only affect the mental health of women, but also make them feel inferior and even have symptoms of sexual disharmony. A large part of the labia majora must be removed. So what is the cause of labia majora hypertrophy?

Hypertrophy of the labia minora refers to a condition that is beyond the normal state due to the congenital overdevelopment of the labia minora. Excessively large and thick labia minora will cause problems with genital hygiene and cleanliness, especially during menstruation, which can easily cause regional contamination. If it is too protruding, it is easy to get rubbed and inflamed when exercising or running. Some women also have difficulty in having sex because their labia are too large, and some young women even dare not have boyfriends because of their large labia.

Surgical method: Labia minora reduction surgery only needs to be performed under local anesthesia, the surgery is less painful, and the operation time is only half an hour. Just cut off the protruding enlarged labia and then sew it up. You can go back to work one or two days after treatment, and the recovery period only takes a week. It is a minor operation in gynecology, the risk is not high and there are no sequelae. But you need to avoid sexual intercourse for two weeks.

The normal labia minora has a natural curve. However, many women have overdeveloped labia minora, which are noticeably enlarged and thickened, dark brown or black in appearance, and wrinkled and curled like cauliflower. What is even more annoying is that it often causes local discomfort. For example, when some people walk, the enlarged labia minora rubs against their underwear, causing pain; some married women have enlarged labia minora pulled during sexual intercourse, which can also cause pain and discomfort, seriously affecting the harmony of the couple.

In the past, due to conservative thinking, patients were often too embarrassed to speak up and endured pain and distress in silence. Even if they seek medical treatment, they are often not taken seriously by obstetricians and gynecologists. In fact, enlarged labia minora can be restored to its normal shape through plastic surgery. Surgery is the only way to completely cure this disease.
