I've noticed that I had a larger clitorous, or labia, around the age of 11 and its honestly huge. I have had a boyfriend for many years so I have had sex a lot, bur that shouldn't effect that, right? I also notice I can orgasm very easily from just rubbing it, I believe I have more nerves than the " average". Is there a reason it's so much larger than normal? Is there anything out there that can help me?

Answer: I'm embarrassed by my genitalia - what would help me? Hello amberevanz97, Thank you for posting your question and including photos which show large and wrinkled labia minora as well as a large clitoral hood. Your actual clitoris, however isn't visible and thus hidden within all your extra tissue. Your concerns about the aesthetic appearance of your vulva is understandable. Feel very fortunate that you're able to orgasm easily. There's nothing wrong with this. Feel reassured that if you were to choose to have cosmetic reduction of both your labia and clitoral hood that you're ability to orgasm would not be impacted in a negative way. You would retain, and possibly enhance, your baseline sexual function. Based on your photos, you're an excellent candidate for this surgery. When choosing your cosmetic surgeon look at Before and After photos, read patient reviews/testimonies and ask questions to insure that your surgeon has year of experience. Best of luck, Oscar A. Aguirre, MDUrogynecologist & Cosmetic Surgeon

Answer: Clitoris not enlarged Thanks for the questionIt looks more like you have extrra clitoral hood skin and labial skin than an enlarged clitoris.Surgery can address this if it is an issue for you but it isnt soemthing that has to be done. If you are having a fulfilled realtionship sexually and dont have concerns about the way it looks then you dont have to have surgery. The anatomy of this area differs in many people and just because it is different does not mean you need surgery to make it look 'normal!' Normal is essentially what you have - now if your normal is something that you do not like then surgery can possibly address this with reduction of the redundant skin. Non-surgical tightening with lasers can also be helpful here.I hope this is of helpBW

Answer: Does my vaginal area look huge? Hello, based on your photos your labia minora and clitoral hood are larger than average, although certainly within the range of normal. I do not specifically see a particularly large clitoris, and the fact that you orgasm easily does not sound like a negative thing. However, if the excess labia and clitoral hood tissue bothers you and you think about it often, it may be worth exploring your options by seeing a plastic surgeon experienced in labiaplasty and clitoral hood reduction.

Answer: Enlarged labia minora and clitoral hood Dear AmberEvans:It is true that you do not appear to have an enlarged clitoris but instead protruding labia minora and excess prepuce. If this bothers you then the surgical choice for you would be labiaplasty and lateral prepuce reduction. Please be careful when choosing a surgeon. Choose a surgeon who has a vast amount of experience, expertise, a great reputation and one who can achieve aesthetic results. Far to often on this website ( every week) there is more than one patient who writes in and complains about the results of their labiaplasty. These patients often need a 2nd and sometimes a 3rd surgery and some unfortunately cant have their surgeries revised as the first surgeon removed too much tissue. So please be careful when considering a surgeon and dont let location and higher costs deter you.John R Miklos MDAtlanta ~ Beverly Hills ~ Dubai

Answer: Enlarged labia and hood tissue the enlargement is likely from your labia and hood tissue, and not the clitoris itself, which may be normal sized. A labiaplasty with hood reduction, as shown above, is the best way to rid yourself of self-consciousness and insecurity in my experience. the "reason" is just bad luck with your genetics. I am certain that there are other women in your family who have this same issue and that they too have been dealing with it since puberty. Best to find an expert and have a consultation. you'll feel much better!
