Intimate Woman
Discomfort can affect the labia minora when they are too large, particularly in comparison with the labia majora, known as labia minora hypertrophy. In the standing position, the labia minora protrude beyond the vulval slit, causing patients to say that they have ‘hanging’ labia minora. Discomfort may also affect the labia majora or the mons pubis, which may also appear too large or, on the contrary, atrophy and become slack with age. Finally, the vagina can become distended during pregnancy.
