Good afternoon everyone, I had labiaplasty 6/7montha ago (reduction of labia minora), and im satisfied with the results, just on one of the labias there is a small point which is painful only when i touch it …but my main problem is after the surgey till now i get UTI/cystitis frequently …4-5 times during these 6/7months…I wonder if there is any relation between labiaplasty and the UTI?because before the surgery i did not have such problem…i would be glad to hear opinions …thanks in advance

Answer: UTI and labiaplasty Hello, thank you for your question. A UTI / Cystitis is an infection of your urethra which is a tube like structure that drains out toxins(urine) from your bladder to the toilet bowl. Urine itself is sterile and pretty clean but the urethra opening which is anatomically right above the vaginal opening can get contaminated with bacteria and this causes UTI symptoms, or burning on urination, frequency, urgency, abdominal pain etc. Now a Labiaplasty performed 6/7 months ago will not be the cause of the UTI. Speak to your plastic surgeon about the tender area possibly a suture difficult to tell based on the history but safe to say unrelated to your UTI.

Answer: Labiaplasty doesn't cause frequent UTIs. So what's going on? Frequent UTIs require an exam. Your gynecologist or your surgeon should do this. There is no way to tell what's going on and there's no value in spewing out wild guesses. UTIs are sometimes caused by surgery or procedure in the vaginal area, but only around the time of the procedure and not months afterwards.
