hello, you should go to a gynecologist. You can get rid of this excess tissue with a minor surgical procedure. Otherwise, it can cause real trouble during sexual intercourse.

HI Brown-_ Rice,

I am not sure if If your referring to the clitoris and the frenula which are attached to the clitoris or 
to the tissue inside the vagina. If it is the tissue inside the vagina, it is most likely remnants of the hymen which can be excised. If you are referring to the clitoris and its attachments, you do NOT want to cut this. I would advise you to see a gynecologist or plastic surgeon in your area who specializes in labial surgery to discuss exactly what is the tissue that is bothering you. Probably your own gynecologist can tell you just as well what it is.

Hope this helps a bit.

Best,
Dr. Christine Rodgers

Hello there,
Thank you for your question.It appears you have a connection between your labia minor, likely due to trauma of some sort and then subsequent healing (post surgery, delivery, etc).This could easily be removed using local anesthetic.
Hope that helps!

Hi!  Thanks for posting some pictures.  It is not very clear, but it appears you have a connection between the labia minora, which may be scar tissue.  It is an unusual place if you never had surgery before.  An in office examination would be ideal to determine exactLy what the tissue is and how best to correct it.   Good luck!
