Labiaplasty Aftercare Hygiene? Is there anything I can do to clean myself in a way that avoids post Labiaplasty pain? Are yeast infections more common because of this?

A: Labiaplasty aftercare and hygiene

I usually have patients shower or sit in a warm bath tub begining 24-48 Hr after a labiaplasty. I also have them use a topical antibiotic ointment for the first 1 to 2 weeks following the procedure. However, I would avoid hot water or heating pads as this can increase swelling and pain. Cool moist compresses can help with initial swelling and discomfort. Labiaplasty should not increase the risk or frequency of yeast infections.

Are There Any Non-surgical Alternatives to Labiaplasty? Are there are any health related reasons not to have a labiaplasty?

A: Non-surgical alternatives to Labiaplasty

Unfortunately, there are no non-surgical alternatives to labiaplasty or labia reduction surgery. As with any surgical procedure, one should be in good overall health, not smoke and avoid medications such as aspirin, which could cause bleeding, before considering a labiaplasty procedure.

A: labia and infants

Infants can be under the influence of maternal estrogen and can have issues like this occur.

You should seek the advice of your neonatologist or pediatrician.

In our San Francisco area practice we perform labiaplasty frequently and would _Not_ consider surgery an appropriate management technique unless this was part of a documented congenital anomaly.

Good luck!
