Suggest Treatment For Large Labia Minor

Posted on Tue, 9 Sep 2014

Question: I have large labia minor, so there are many folds and can get kind of tangled at times in uncomfortable positions. When separating them I found what appears/feels like a stalk skin tag. It gets irritated sometimes but I think I feel the stalk continue into the labia like a root. The tag on the surface is swishy and can be stretched a bit. I'm concerned that if its just removed at the surface the stalk that extends into the labia will still get irritated from tangling folds and produce another tag. Can the root end be removed as well or is that some kind of blood supply line?

Brief Answer:
Labiaplasty

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Welcome to healthcare magic.

1. There is a definite procedure for the problem you have and is called labiaplasty.

2. This procedure is done to reduce labia minor and excessive folds and skin.

3. As you fear only the stalk is not removed. But even the route is taken care so as to blood supply is not affected and skin is stretched evenly.

4. This makes sure the problem does not recur again.

Let me know if you have any more questions.

Regards
Dr. Soumya
