Large labia minora and examination

My wife has what I would consider to be very large/ long labia - approx 2 1/2" long when hanging but will stretch to 4" & 4 1/2", a bit lopsided lol.

What are the experiences of women with large labia during vaginal examinations?

From our chat last night you'll have gleaned that an important part of my examinations will concentrate on tuition in the regular self examination of not only the breasts but of the vulva too.

I imagine that what you describe about your wife's labia will give quite a bit of scope to any play doctor who does this!

I don't have large labia, but I will say that in a real medical examination, they get no more examination than a large penis. Basically, we just gently extend them and check for skin lesions just as we would in any woman, but they don't get looked at (or glared at) as if they were an oddity.

I too have pretty large labia. I have never noticed any exam feature that seemed to be geared toward that.

Wife has large inner labia. Asked doc about it. Said there is an operation. Wife worried about sensitivity. Any one know about this?

Labioplasty is a commonly done procedure, now usually done with a laser or radiosurgery which minimizes bleeding and recovery time.

There isn't a real difference in sensitivity, other than the flabby tissue is gone. Excision of excess labial tissue does not affect orgasmic ability.

Some of the doctors who specialize in female genital plastic surgery produce beautiful results. Some do not. Do a google search for labiaplasty and look at photos of their patients. You will be amazed at how good some of them are. I especially like the work of Dr. Pam Loftis.

My wife has large inner vaginal lips. Before we met, she said she had always been conscious of them, and had even considered surgical reduction. I love them - and now, so does she. They are beautiful.

Thats nice that you have made her appreciated and more comfortable!

As you can see on my other posts i have very large dangling labia,i have never had a problem when having an exam,quite the opposite,i like being on show and try to relax as much as possible.I agree with other posts you get everything checked at a smear test,he rubbed the skin between his fingers checking for lumps and abnormalities he moved them from side to side and did say they were on the large side but he aplauded my confidence in allowing him to examine mine as alot of ladies would be very shy and uncomfortable with him examining and touching/pulling their vaginal lips,

try and do breathing exercises to relax.

he is only checking for illness i unfortunately either came on the examining table or i pissed on it but the doctor just took it all to his stride and wiped it up, i felt soooo embarressed.Hope you get some help from this post.

Im having labiaplasty in december, or maybe easter depending on exams at uni. i hate mine!!!! lol they rub on my clothes, wouldnt care otherwise.

Just looked at the pics from the link.. thanks...

I'm comparing myself to some of the before pictures, and I didn't realise that my own labia could be classed as large..

Although I wouldn't have surgery, I think every woman is different, and I quite like my vulva the way it is..

Unless it was causing a problem having sex, or dressing.

I agree every women is different and usually there is no need for labioplasty ...but if its needed why not?? labioplasty is so common today!!

"Common" means people are doing it, NOT that everyone on the block with large labia is doing it.

Large labia can be nice for your partner. It keeps his penis warm!!!! 😁 😁 😁

This is a very interesting topic and worthy of a reply.

As has been said already ever woman’s labia (as well as vagina etc) is unique to her, no two are the same. Wouldn't it be boring if they were the same?

Human nature dictates that what one person regards as attractive labia another will regard as unattractive. Personally I am no great fan of larger inner labia, which protrude from the outer labia, but that is just a personal preference, as a role play gynaecologist my "professional" stance is to treat all of my patients with total respect and dignity.

I hope i do not upset anyone by saying apart from physical disfigurement due to illness or accident and the chaffing issue, women considering this operation should get councilling NOT surgery!

Pamperedpuss, I understand what you are saying about body image, but a labioplasty is just another plastic surgery procedure, and a simple one at that.

As with a face lift, nose job, body piercing, tattooing, hair transplants or anything other safe things you do to your body, if it makes you happy, there really isn't anything wrong with it.

If you have the money and know it will make u feel better about yourself im all for plastic surgery.

I still say a majority of all plastic surgery is unessessary people with low self esteem and a lack of confidence are being brainwashed by unscrupulus plastic surgeons who want to make a fast buck!

Before you go down that road stop and think why do i want this?

if it is to please a partner\because i think im ugly because xxx is too big/small etc and if i have it done my life will be so much better. I know friends who have gone down that road and some regretted doing it.

i just think you should think about it carefully,some people get addicted to plastic surgery 'i will look better/feel better ,find a man/women 'if i just get this done' etc you will never be satisfied!anorexics 'just need' to loose 6 more pounds then their life will be perfect.-wrong!!

i know o.t.t but look at that wolverstein women she looks like a shocked cat,

i do not mean to upset anyone but half of all plastic surgery is wrong it just lines their pockets.

Labiaplasty is unnecessary and causes less sensitivity. Outer labia is great for oral and i think it looks more womanly I've seen a lot of vaginas as i do laser Brazilians. And been asked the am i normal down there question many times. I love having an outie vagina and as a bi girl i prefer outie girls just looks more sexy inviting for some reason.

^^^^ Cherrypie: The problem most women seem to have is they feel their inner labia (Minora) are too large when the extend beyond the outer labia (Majora), not that their outer labia are too large.

so true! rub on clothes, catch when having sex... soooooooooooooooo irritating!

I was talking about the inner one. You call inner labia the protrudes an outie andones. That don't innies. Mine is an outie and i love it. If you have seen labiaplasty there is scar tissue, which will non longer be sensitive on those spots. Ive seen alot of young girls get it done to please guys not good celebrate what you have. I love the look of outies on women so sexy, but that's just my preference. Celebrate what you have 😃

Im sorry if what i said was offensive, i didnt mean to. I'm sorry what i said came out wrong. I was just meaning if you want to have a libiaplasty do it for yourself and personal reasons, not for guys who want to change you. I have worked in surgical for many years, i have seen libiaplasties go wrong for women, so if for presonal reasons you want it done make sure you get a very experienced plastic surgeon 😃

While I would only see a well experienced surgeon for anything, trimming the labia minora is extremely simple. So simple you could do it with scissors, except it would bleed a lot afterward, which is why radiosurgery or laser surgery for that is better.

Big or small i love 'um all.

Seriously, it comes down to personal choice of the lady in question. If it is causing discomfort or problems, then it is probably a no brainer. If it is vanity, then may be there is more room for thought before she goes ahead.

In some cultures, such as Buganda, large labia are a 'must' for ladies and part of the rights of entering womenhood are to have the minora streatched so that they hand below the majora. Not something I'd advocate or condone though.

As a man, ladies I'd say be proud of what you have and celebrate them.

A friend of mine and his now wife reduced her very large inner labia and her clit hood by themselves because no doctor would take her complaints of discomfort seriously. She has graciously allowed me to see before and after photos. Her hood extended at least 2 inches past her glans clitoris and her inner labia were at least 3 1/2 inches outside her outer labia. She had issues with pinching and pulling and could be so sore that moving was uncomfortable.

At that time, there were no doctors doing genital plastic surgery except to repair (sort of) damage caused by vulvar cancer and accident. They used the "clamp and cut" method used by many who are into body modification. R*** was very happy with the result and is still happy today.

They had family issues that prevented them from getting married for many years. When they discovered each other and found they were both unmarried, they had a nice civil ceremony and have been contented partners for a good while now.

Pleshurz22, thanks for the morning laugh.

My partner has large outer lips and she was a little embarrassed by them until we shaved her one night when she was so drunk and iin the morning they were oozing so beautifully and I brought her a mirror to examine the sight and she realized why guys like pussies and bald ones are just so sexy no matter what shape or form (for me anyway) !!!!!!!!
