I am experiencing excruciating pain at the top of my right labia minora, just below the clitoral hood. The pain began two weeks after surgery. I was given a steroid injection 3 months post surgery. I was told by couple of surgeons that the pain is nerve related. I recently developed numbness in the whole right labia and right part of the hood. I can hardly sit. Could you please advise whether anything can be done about the pain and numbness at this point?
Answer: Pain after labiaplasty Your history does sound consistent with nerve-related pain. I recommend an in-person evaluation by a board-certified or board-eligible plastic surgeon to confirm the diagnosis and further discuss treatment options.

Answer: Vulvar pain and numbness after labiaplasty Your outcome, with a combination of pain + numbness is unusual, but most likely a result of an injury to a branch/branches of your pudendal nerve. Neither a diagnosis or recommendations for proper therapy can be made without an in-person evaluation with proper neurological testing by an expert in cosmetic gynecology and/or a pain management specialist/neurologist. Whom to see??! Since you are in the UK, I would recommend Dr. Alexandros Bader on Harley Street in London (you can tell him I referred you...) If Dr. Bader is unable to help, he would be able to recommend the proper pain management/neurological specialist. In the U.S. East Coast I'd recommend either Dr. John Hunter in NYC, or Dr. Marco Pelosi III in Northern New Jersey. Dr. Otto Placik in Chicago; Dr. John Miklos Atlanta, myself or Dr. Gary Alter in California. Your therapy may involve a neuroleptic medication, either topically or systemically, or perhaps PRP injections. First though would be a proper evaluation. It's always best to have a proper diagnosis prior to embarking on therapy (sic.)
