Question 1

hi, i have this excess skin near my vagina. is that normal? what causes this?

Accepted Answer

Maybe (not) . . .: Are you referring to your labia majora? If so, yes, that's normal female anatomy. To be sure, go see your family doc or obstetrician for an examination. Don't forget that while the general stuff is similar, we're all different from each other, too. So some women might have larger labia than others but it's all part of normal. So go see your doc for reassurance.

Question 2

i have pain and extra skin in my vagina and it makes penetration very difficult?

Accepted Answer

Extra skin: vagina: If the "extra skin" causes pain or discomfort, see a gyn physician, who may recommend removal of this kind of obstacle, which is fairly common.  This will heal rapidly, and sexual relations will be normal thereafter.

Question 3

i have extra skin on my vagina and i'm pretty sure that's normal but my boyfriend ate me out last night it like blew up and hasn't gone back?

Accepted Answer

Swelling: Genital swelling could be caused by certain types of sexual activities, but swelling could be a sign of infection as well. I recommend you get an evaluation by your doctor.

Question 4

why does it look like i have an extra bit of skin on my vagina opening? wen i tense it goes into a flower shape? wierd question sorry just worried

Accepted Answer

Sounds like a normal: Sounds like a normal variation. The vaginal opening and the labia can have different appearances and still be normal. Just like having different noses, or eye color.  A gynecologist would need to do an exam, probably just looking at the skin at the opening to be able to tell you if it's a normal variant, or something else.

Question 5

hi! i have a quick question. i have extra skin inside my vagina. this makes masturbating very difficult. it sometimes hurts because its hard to do, and i need to fully relax which is difficult.

Accepted Answer

Recommend: an in-person evaluation by a gynecologist once the COVID 19 crisis allows for that. The physician can assess your anatomy and determine if any interventions are indicated.

Question 6

how to get rid of that extra skin from your vagina walls?

Accepted Answer

Examination: At your age the first step is to schedule a visit with a gynecologist. An exam will be done to determine what extra skin you are referring to. You may be identifying normal anatomy. It is important to show the doctor what you have noticed to identify if everything is normal or not.

Question 7

my vagina is burning. i have 2 extra skin pieces that appeared one day and they burn. i'm a virgin, help?

Accepted Answer

BV? : This could be a vaginal infection or virus such as wart or herpes. This can happen even if you're a virgin. See your doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Question 8

if i am going to the gyno for the first time cuz i have extra skin on vagina and can't use tampon..what will be done at my visit?

Accepted Answer

The GYN doctor: will take a look and see if there is any surgical  procedure necessary or available to help you with your problem.  If you do not have any active complaints, only the vulval skin fold, then they may offer for you to wait or use an alternative method of sanitation.  Thanks for trusting in HealthTap.

Question 9

i've had a flap of excess skin near my vagina, longer than the other side, since i can remember, is there anything wrong with me? can i get rid of it?

Accepted Answer

Yes,: The extra tissue can be excised if it is a hymenal remnant, scar tissue post vaginal delivery, or "excess labia". Have a gyn md evaluate the area to see if excisiion is needed.
