The labia play a very important role in the female body. There are smaller and larger labia. However, the size may differ from woman to woman, as well as the size of the mouth and nose. There are no two identical pairs of labia, but it may happen that they need to be corrected for different reasons because the smaller ones turn out to be larger. You can also get trauma or inflammation of the labia. What else do you need to know about them?

The labia are smaller

The labia are designed to protect the vagina from infection, external factors and mechanical injuries. The labia majora are on the outside and consist of a fold of skin that holds a lot of fatty tissue. The lower labia, on the other hand, is just a flap of skin. Both pairs of lips have a lot of blood supply, which is why they have an intense pink color. It may also happen that their color will be darker, or even brown in tone. This is not a cause for concern as the labia may also be darker in women with a darker complexion. In addition, they may darken as a result of pregnancy.

The smaller labia, although they should actually be smaller, can also protrude beyond the larger labia, because the larger ones may be too small and flat. This is especially true in lean women who have little body fat and therefore the labia majora filler.

Huge labia

The labia can be oversized for a variety of reasons. Most often it is caused by an abnormal build or pregnancy. The reduction of the labia minora is a popular procedure that most women can undergo. Sometimes the procedure is performed at the patient’s request for aesthetic reasons, but it may also be needed for health reasons.

Overgrown labia can be rubbed by underwear or during sexual intercourse, which can lead to irritation and even inflammation. Too large labia can stand out in a bathing suit or tight pants.

The size of the labia is corrected under local anesthesia. It may be a procedure in the field of laser therapy or labiaplasty. Removing too much skin fold or removing fat from it is not an invasive procedure. After 4-5 days you can return to normal functioning. The price of the procedure depends primarily on the chosen technique and the aesthetic medicine clinic. However, you have to take into account the amount of even several thousand zlotys for such a procedure.

Labia size correction procedures are available in the offer of aesthetic gynecology clinics. Go to the clinic.pl website and choose labia surgery, smaller or larger, in one of the available clinics.

Swollen labia – how to treat?

It may also happen that your labia suddenly becomes swollen or starts to hurt, especially when you touch, sit or urinate. Swollen labia can have many causes, ranging from irritation to cancer. Therefore, if the cause of the personal care irritation is eliminated and the labia are still swollen, a visit to the gynecologist is necessary.

Most often, the labia swell as a result of an allergic reaction, for example, to perfumed sanitary napkins or strong washing detergents in personal care gels. But it can also be a symptom of inflammation, vulva mycosis, labial herpes, and even hormonal disorders. Therefore, specific examinations with a gynecologist are needed to cure this symptom.
