What does the treatment consist of?
Although treatment must be personalized, there are different surgical techniques, all of which yield good aesthetic and functional results. A simple physical examination will easily identify this condition, followed by its surgical correction.
Nymphoplasty is the surgical technique aimed at reducing the size of the labia minora. It is performed not only for aesthetic reasons but also for functional ones. It is a simple technique that can be done under local anesthesia with sedation, without the need for a hospital stay. It involves the reduction of the labia minora (hypertrophy).
Other types of treatments such as vaginal reduction and narrowing can be added. Likewise, vaginoplasty in women who have suffered vaginal dilation due to childbirth, sexual relations, genetics, etc.
Although at first one might think that it is a minor problem, the truth is that patients who suffer from hypertrophy of the labia minora see their daily lives limited in many aspects.
Recovery
Nymphoplasty is an intervention that lasts about 30 minutes. Within approximately 72 hours the woman is recovered and can return to her daily life. During the first 2 days there is inflammation in the area due to the intervention. The edema and bruising progressively disappear until they have an almost normal shape around 7-10 days. Sexual intercourse can be resumed around 15 days after nymphoplasty.
Results
The scars are practically invisible due to the type of suture performed and the precision with which the intervention is performed. The goal is to make it as natural and anatomical as possible, resulting in very high patient satisfaction. The results are long-lasting and over time the operated labia minora adapt to their new shape and become very natural.
Complications
Complications derived from this surgery are usually rare. Potential issues include localized hematomas, infection of the area, and wound dehiscence, all of which are easily manageable. Even rarer are permanent changes in sensitivity and vaginal dryness.
