Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have extra skin on the right lower side of my labia minora. Due to the extra skin, I get paper cuts often. I ve been tested and am STD free. Would labiaplasty be a good solution? I am less concerned with the aesthetics and moreso the pain associated with these cuts.
It is with great pleasure that I reply your post. Hope you find my answer useful. Actually, from your description, I feel that you are a perfect candidate for a labiaplasty. As you mentioned, this has created a situation of physical and psychological discomfort which in my opinion is a condition defined as poor health. The mere fact that you experience cuts could predispose to local infection hence serious complications. A proper surgery (labiaplasty) should get rid of the extra skin (which has minimal risk of complications) hence helping you feel better and consequently lesser cuts.
Hope this helps
