Will a labiaplasty help minimize pain during intercourse? What options do I have? 50 y/o

The inner labia can often become pinched or folded during intercourse, especially when they are elongated or larger. Labiaplasty absolutely reduces this pain in addition to pain with certain garments, exercise and other activities. There is however, pain unrelated to the labia minora known as dyspareunia. This is generally a nonspecific pain but can be related to other anatomical and physiological issues related to the female sexual response. It would be important to be evaluated first before considering Labiaplasty and to make sure that your symptoms are indeed from pinching or pulling of the inner labia tissues. I have performed the Labiaplasty procedure on women in their 50s and 60s before without incident and with great satisfaction to the patient.

You mentioned 50. Are you saying pain wasn’t an issue before menopause? Because if that’s the case, your labia are not the issue. Aging is the issue and rejuvenating the tissue is the route you need. Reducing the labia minor will not make it better or worse. A proper examination with a gynecologist would be beneficial. If you’ve done that route and gotten nowhere, then you want to see someone who understands gynecology but also provides treatments outside the box. For instance, lasers and radio frequency treatments such as core Intima and vaginal Morpheus can improve the function of the vaginal canal and opening, improving sex. PRP injections in adjunct can also have a great synergistic affect. Aging often comes with skin conditions such as atrophy, lichen sclerosis, psoriasis to name a few. Sometimes vaginismus sets in as well…bitch may improve with Botox. These are things I see everyday in my practice and treating patients with traditional therapy as well as the unconventional route has had great results in improving my patients intimate life. Labiaplasty would be considered if only you’re having concerns of aesthetic issues. And at that point, it is very important to seek out a cosmetic Gyn who performs them regularly or a plastic surgeon. Not all of either do this procedure. But what good is a pretty “junk” if it’s not functional! I hope you find intimate wellness soon!
