Question 1

do inner labia sometimes get bigger?

Accepted Answer

Yes: The labia can become larger over time due to many causes. It is called labial hypertrophy and if bothersome, can be treated with minor surgery, called labiaplasty.

Question 2

what are reasons why my inner labia is so sensitive?

Accepted Answer

Abundant nerves: Also attached to the clitoris which is the most sensitive part of a women's boby.

Question 3

is it normal that the inner labia are not symmetrical?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Labia minora could be different in size as well as any other parts of our body.

Question 4

i have a raw feeling on my inner labia--what could this be?

Accepted Answer

Not normal: This does not sound normal and i would highly recommend that you have your gynecologist perform an evaluation.

Question 5

is there any medicine you can take to shorten your inner labia?

Accepted Answer

: The appearance of the inner labia, or labia minora, vary considerably in size and shape, and can also increase in size from trauma and/or chronic irritation. You are also still developing and maturing. A surgical procedure called a labiaplasty can reduce and reshape them but there is no medication that will accomplish that. For now, just avoid excessive cleaning and manipulation of the area.

Question 6

why is my inner labia swell and a little painful after mastubation?

Accepted Answer

: It is possible that when masturbating, you might be hurting yourself.

Question 7

my inner labia have shrunk so much, you can hardly see them anymore. why would that happen?

Accepted Answer

: Assuming that you have gone through Menopause, your body's estrogen production has plummeted and caused vaginal and labial atrophy as well as dryness. Talk to a Dr about topical estrogen creams or suppositories that can help labial and vaginal tissue maintain its elasticity and fluid production.

Question 8

can one inner labia suddenly become bigger that the other? and why? i have no pain but i am a bit scared.

Accepted Answer

Why did you notice?: If this just occurred and you feel swollen get it checked.  You may have a yeast infection.  If you have always had this it is nothing to worry about.  See your gynecologist for reassurance if it is chronic or for a proper diagnosis if it is new.

Question 9

how can i treat swollen inner labia?

Accepted Answer

Swollen labia minora: The inner labia usually are not swollen unless there is an infection present. A MD exam will make that determination. A hot sitz bath can take away any pain until you can see the MD.
