Have you been researching Labia reduction online? Does talking about your personal issue make you nervous, do you just hate having to even say the word 'Labia' out loud? Well, you are not alone; many women experience larger inner and outer lips of the vagina and wish that they could do something about it. And guess what? They and you can by having labia reduction surgery.
Indications for Surgical Reduction
• Personal hygiene
• Interference with sexual intercourse
• Discomfort during menstrual cycles
• Discomfort during activities like bike riding or horseback riding
• It hurts to wear exercise clothes
• Pain while walking or sitting
If you are experiencing any of these issues then labia reduction surgery may be for you. The labia minora protects the vaginal orifice when the thighs are spread, and when you have this surgery you can actually decide the size you want your labia to be, just keep in mind the purpose of the labia and don't have it overcorrected.
The Surgical Procedure
During the procedure, the inner lips of the vulva are reduced in size; they are to look more symmetrical. This procedure is done under local or general anesthesia. Scars are minimal and normally are only visible to the trained eye. Sensitivity is normally not affected. After surgery you will have a dressing in that area that is similar to a pad that is worn during menstruation. You will need to apply ice to the area and should have about a week of bed rest. After that you can resume your daily routine with some caution, avoiding strenuous activity. You should not engage in sexual intercourse for 4 to 6 weeks following surgery.
You should not have this surgery if you:
• Are pregnant or menstruating
• Have complications from an episiotomy
• Have a yeast infection or genital herpes outbreak
• Have problems with bladder incontinence
• Have a prolapsed uterus (your uterus has fallen
into the vaginal canal)
