Labial Enlargement

What is labial enlargement?

Every woman’s body is unique. However those struggling with labial enlargement often feel limited about what she can wear and what activities she engages in, and sexual intercourse may feel uncomfortable or out of the question.

Labial enlargement, also known as labial hypertrophy, is characterized by the enlargement of the inner or outer labia.  It can either affect one or both sides of the labia. A woman might notice these differences after puberty or she might have had it since birth. It not only can make a woman feel self-conscious or provide physical discomfort, it can also increase the risk of health complications like yeast infection.

How can labial enlargement can affect one’s life?

Labial enlargement has a very real impact on a woman’s life. It can affect a woman’s body image and dictate what clothing she chooses to wear. She may avoid wearing a bathing suit, leggings or other form-fitting clothing due to embarrassment or self-consciousness.

An enlarged labia can also cause physical discomfort and limit the activities a woman can participate in, especially exercise. When the inner labia is enlarged, it can lead to painful sex. Whether a woman experiences pain or feels self-conscious about her body, avoidance of intimacy can be an unfortunate consequence.

All of these of these situations can impact a woman’s emotional health and wellbeing.
