My gyno discovered it about 5 years ago, after he sent me for further testing, and MRI. It came up a Lipoma. He said it was benine and it was up to me if I wanted to leave it alone. I decided to leave it alone, and now about 5 years later, it has grown and I went back to my gyno and he agreed that it has grown, but when I asked his advice, it was to leave it alone. I feel it's starting to become uncomfortable and I don't know if it's harmful to leave it alone.
A growing lipoma that is bothersome would likely be best removed, no matter where it is. I would suggest getting a second opinion from another gynecologist.
I am 18 years old, and have had large labia minors since I can remember. It causes pain and discomfort during intercourse, which puts strain on my relationship. I plan on having kids a few years from now, but am nervous about natural childbirth since regular intercourse hurts so bad. It also causes me to be self conscious in any tight clothing. I live in the inland empire and I was wondering if I am a candidate for a labiaplasty now, or if I should wait.
If you are truly having pain from enlarged labia minora interfering with sex or clothing, then it would make sense to have a surgical reduction. Any surgeon treating you would want to make sure that that is indeed the problem causing the pain, and not something else.
