Understanding Labia and Why Some Women Choose Surgery
Beauty and health in every part of the body are important, especially in private areas that many people may not feel comfortable discussing openly. This article will introduce you to “labia,” an important female organ with physiological diversity that affects quality of life. We will learn about the natural characteristics of labia, reasons why some women choose modification, and safe care options provided by specialists. Whether you’re researching for yourself or to better understand female anatomy, this article has answers for you.
What is Labia?
“Labia” is part of the female genitalia, consisting of skin tissue surrounding the vagina. It is divided into 2 main types:
- Labia Minora : Small tissue located on the inside, close to the vagina and clitoris, with color and shape that varies from person to person.
- Labia Majora : Larger tissue located on the outside, resembling a pair of lips, functioning to protect the labia minora and vagina.
The shape, size, and color of labia may differ from person to person, varying according to genetics, which is considered normal and natural for the human body.
Why Do Some Women Choose Labiaplasty?
Labiaplasty is a surgical procedure involving the adjustment of size or shape of the labia minora, or in some cases may include the labia majora as well. The reasons women choose labiaplasty often involve several factors, such as:
- Physical Comfort
Some women may feel uncomfortable or pain during daily activities such as exercise, cycling, or sexual intercourse, due to labia that are large or have an elongated shape causing friction. - Confidence in Appearance
Although labia are not visible to others, some women may feel insecure about their appearance, especially in the context of sexual relationships. Labiaplasty may help them feel more confident. - Medical Reasons
In some cases, abnormally large labia may cause recurring inflammation or infection, where doctors may recommend surgical modification to reduce these problems.
Labia are organs that have different characteristics in each individual, which is considered normal for the body. However, for those who feel uncomfortable or have concerns about the appearance of their labia, labiaplasty may be an option that helps increase confidence and reduce certain health issues.
At Dr.Aomthong Clinic, we offer techniques for aesthetic labia modification with proper proportions, performed by specialists using laser incision techniques. The advantages include minimal bleeding or almost no bleeding, and the use of hidden suture techniques resulting in very small scars, beautiful wounds that blend smoothly with the skin, and quick recovery.
Labiaplasty is therefore a relatively safe surgical procedure when performed by specialist doctors in standardized medical facilities. However, like other surgeries, there are risks that may occur, such as infection, scarring, or loss of sensation in the modified area. Therefore, the decision to undergo this surgery should always be discussed with a specialist doctor first.
