Q: labia reduction

Hi,

i was wondering if anybody knew if my doctor would be able to refer me for surgery for labia reduction. i have had this embarrassing problem since i can remember. i have told my Mum i want it sorted and she said my Doctor could probably refer me. Is this true and will this be expensive or free? it is just a big knock to my confidence and i fell people can see, epecially when it comes to wearing a bikini on holiday, i feel as though it is noticeable and it really is a big knock to my confidence.

anyone else sharing this embarrassment? i feel like a right odd'un. Sad

Answer
This type of surgery is usually always considered Cosmetic, which means that it will not be covered under insurance plans. BUT, in rare instances, if your labia minora hurt you by rubbing up against your panties, etc, or if it is painful during intercourse, then sexual discomfort is a valid reason for an insurance carrier to cover your labial reduction surgery. I dont know about pricing, but i know in america, it gets expensive, 5000-7000 dollars.

Labia Reduction
I think you can get a loss of sensation from this surgery, because nerves will be damaged or cut. Unless you have pain from the way you're made, it would be better to wear a bathing suit that has a little skirt on it. Be healthy and don't worry about what other people think of you. Love yourself.

Hi.Did you see the dr?I'm keen to know what solution you got.As i too have a similar prob..though not same.
Can someone help me?
I'm 26,Single,Female,Adicted to mastrubation since early childhood.I end up mastrubating often.
Over 3-4 yr back i started observing my vagina has lost its natural shape.My labia minora have lost their shape & size.Unlike normal(i.e they are not tight,pink and barely visible)but they've turned blackish,fragile,abnormally long & hang out from the outer lips.The left one is more longer than the Rt.
I NEVER HAD SEX nor inserted anything in my vagina but all i do is,stand at the corner of a table & press my vagina hard against it & brush with slight strokes till i reach orgasm.Or i sit cross legged & press my vagina hard against the heel of left foot,and keep brushing with slight stokes,as if i want to burrie my heel in vagina.
Will this ugly vagina cause prob in my married life?M worried my future husband may think I'm not vargin.How can my vagina regain its natural shape?Will this require surgery?Will that be expensive?
Please help,i'm gonna get married shortly 7 i'm too paniced coz of this prob
