More about the labia majora

The size and shape of the labia vary from woman to woman. Sometimes the labia are larger or longer than you’d like. This can be particularly bothersome if it causes discomfort while biking, exercising, having sex, or wearing tight clothing.

  • A labia correction may be considered when the inner labia are perceived as too large, long or asymmetrical. This can have both physical and cosmetic reasons. Some women, for example, experience irritation or pain while cycling, exercising, having sex or wearing tight clothing. Others feel self-conscious about the appearance of their labia.

     

    It is good to know that there is a lot of natural variation in the shape and size of labia. A different shape does not automatically mean that something is wrong. During a personal consultation, we can discuss whether a correction suits your complaints and wishes.

  • Large labia can cause complaints for some women. Especially while cycling, exercising, having sex or wearing tight clothing, friction or pressure can cause irritation, sensitivity or pain. During this procedure, excess tissue is removed so that the labia can become smaller and complaints can be reduced. If large labia cause physical discomfort or insecurity, a labia correction can be considered.
