A member asked:

Is there permanent sexual loss from a vulva biopsy from labia minor or labia major?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Vulvar Biopsy: Not at all. A vulbar biopsy is no different than a skin biopsy anywhere else. It takes 2-4 weeks to heal and then you are as good as new!

No: Not usually and raely. Labial biopsy should have no effect on labido.
