Hello, I'm curious to know what causes my labia to hang out so much and what I can do about it? It seems to be getting worse and I'm worried it's because I've had a lot of sex partners. A number of men have already commented on my vagina feeling loose and it is making me very insecure. Do you recommend labiaplasty?

Answer: Labiaplasty Hello,Thank you for your question. I would like to firstly say that any surgical procedure, particularly a cosmetic one, should be for yourself and yourself only.... please disregard what anyone has said regarding your anatomy. They are not worth your time!Should you decide to undergo a cosmetic procedure for your labia, I would recommend at least a labiaplasty as well as a clitoral hood reduction to decrease the size of the lateral prepuce. A labiaplasty alone would not give you the aesthetic appearance you are likely looking for.Hope that helps!, and take care.Sincerely,Jennifer Adams, MD, FRCSC

Answer: Labiaplasty for labia minora It’s natural for the labia minora to be saggy and bulky, as there is a wide variation of what is considered “normal” when it comes to the female genitalia. Some women find that things change after having children, or with age. However, the labia minora doesn’t stretch out by having lots of sex. Protruding labia minora can be reduced in shape and size with labiaplasty. This surgical procedure will remove excess tissue to make the labia minora less prominent. The labia minora doesn’t affect the “tightness” of the vaginal canal, therefore labiaplasty would not improve this issue. If you are concerned about that, vaginoplasty is a more suitable procedure. You can also try kegel exercises.

Answer: What can be done about my protruding labia? Hi ashley, You could have a labiaplasty to shorten the labia minora and the clitoral hood. This will give you a smaller and less protruding labia in the area. If done properly, there should be minimal scarring and in the greater majority of cases, there should not be a reduction in sexual pleasure. If you or your partners feel, however, that the vaginal vault is too loose, a labiaplasty will not address this problem. I would suggest that you visit with a urogynecologist who specializes in tightening of the vaginal vault to help with this problem. If your major concern is the length and appearance of the labia minora, either a plastic surgeon or urogynecologist can help with this issue. Hope this helps a bit. Good luck! Dr. Christine Rodgers
