Surgery or no surgery? that is the question!

Very nervous young lady

January 16, 2010

hi, i have written on this site several times over a couple of years but have not had any reply so thought id write again.
Im 27 and have very large labia minora with very little labia majora. Your site has made me feel a little better about my body but i still hate being in certain situations, like going swimming, when its hot and go out to wear a skirt, riding a bike etc.  I am so very paranoid about my big lips that i am even contemplating not having children in the future for fear of health professionals seeing them.  I would hate the thought of several nurses and doctors looking at me down there!  my lovely boyfriend says he loves my vagina how it is but he also knows it bothers me soooooo much.  He said if i really want to have labiaplasty i can but only do it for myself, not for him.  Now the problem i have is i want the surgery, just to feel better about myself, but im so embarrased about visiting a doctor!  i just dont know what to do.  Shall i just leave it and get on with my life whilst having some boundaries and humiliation or do i just go to the doctors and try and sort it?  this has been worrying and upsetting me for years, this is one of the main reasons i may never have children! please help
thank you

Dear Nervous,  Let's back up a step.  The problem is not your larger labia minora.  You know from reading this site, how those are admired and desired by others.  Your b/f says he loves your pussy just as it is.  The only problem you really have is that you refuse to accept that your pussy is beautiful without surgical alteration.  All this business about being afraid of what medical professionals would say, should they see you, being afraid of having children because of your labia, even being afraid of your proposed surgery to eliminate those very labia, and thus their beauty, because some medical professional would see you, is all in your head, created by you.  You have been given every reason to understand how beautiful and sexy your labia are.  If you continue to choose to refuse to accept those reasons, refuse to accept your b/f's loving opinion, refuse to accept all the helpful and loving advice on this site, refuse to accept that medical professionals  are professionals, and that they see thousands, if not millions of pussys all the time, and would hardly notice, let alone comment on any little differences in yours, if you refuse to accept any of these facts, there's just not much that anyone can do for you.  After all, only you can control your opinions, and your unfounded fears.  Only you can choose to accept the facts as they have been presented to you.

Hi VNYL,
Unlike a lot of the ladies here who have expressed similar concerns and doubts... you have already decided.
As you wrote, you want the surgery but are embarrassed about the doctor seeing your lips.
It is tragic that your pussy has brought you such grief and it's society's fault for not celebrating large labia. But what you have is a psychological issue with your lips and only counselling or surgery can help your view of your body.  
You have a very supportive guy in your life who loves your lips and that's not helping your self-image. So no matter what anyone else thinks, you hate your own body, that's the bottom line.  
Would be best if you could learn to see you own beauty instead of doing something as drastic as surgery.
Just for reference, is there any pussy shown on this site, or anywhere on the internet that resembles your flower?

Noooooooo surgery!!! Did you read about the risks of the surgery? Haven't enough people told u that large labia are very common and very desirable?  
I can not digest why some women say they are ashamed the doctors might see them?! Doctors who see pussies like yours everyday! Why would they care?
It reminds me of this girl who was ashamed to see a doctor and wanted to cut her labia herself!!!!!
Holy crap! Women are going nuts! Check this out:

Hi very nervous
You obviously have some big selfesteem issues, and labiaplasty is not going to cure that. Your labia are perfectly normal and what 90 % of the guys would prefer in a woman so you have a body to be proud of and instead you are sad and ashamed. But since you have been blessed with something that is being prefered and that your boyfriend also loves, there must be some way for you to get to feel better about yourself. I would suggest some counceling or therapy because you feel so low about your self. If you get labiaplasty there is a big risk that you will regret for many reasons: maybe some sensation will disapear, maybe you will loose some self respect, maybe you will never be able to mentally accept the change etc (all of which actually happens to many women who really thought that labiaplasty was the answer).  
Negative self images can definately be changed and that is what you need to work on. If I said to you that you should get the labiaplasty, in my head it wouldn't be much different from confirming a girl with anorexia to loose weight instead of encouraging her to seek therapy to get over her problems. By the way I think that therapy would help even if you don't want to mention your issues with your labia because it could still improve your self esteem and self image so hopefully it would also help this problem.

Best wishes, Ann

First. . .

I hate to the say this, but DO NOT go to a Plastic Surgeon for advice, as their advice will almost always be biased.

Your boyfriend sounds very intelligent and respectful, and my hat is off to him based on what he told you, because that is what any supportive boyfriend would do.

If you feel like this is going to cause your major anguish for the rest of your life, then by all means do whatever you think will make you feel better.

I just ask you to consider the women who have had the surgery already and now regret it. . .

The thing is. . .there is nothing that can be done to improve the female (or male for that matter) body, as they are perfect just the way they are, and just the way nature intended them to be.  If improvements ever need to be made, mother nature simply improves it by natural evolution.

Think about why your labia lips are large. . .there are lots of reasons:

- More lubrication to make it easier for you to have sex.
- More friction generation for your pleasure and your mate.
- *Maybe* makes it easier to bear children (you didn't see that one did ya?)
- More attractive to potential mates.

As it's been stated here over and over, thick labia lips give the impression of "more" satisfaction/pleasure, just the way some women are instinctively attracted to a larger penis, so it is with men being attracted to larger labia.  It doesn't necessarily mean that the man attached to the larger penis knows what to do with it. . .in fact in his experience, it may be a curse, simply because he has a hard time taking women in the doggy style position because his penis is simply too much for them to bear.

As a result, he considers surgery to reduce the size of his penis. . .

Now of course, this is all hypothetical. . .but I am sure you can see the point here -- what you consider to be a curse, your boyfriend, and perhaps other men who may come after him don't consider to be a curse, but actually consider themselves pretty lucky to have found a woman like you who in their perception will make their sexual experience much more pleasurable with her large labia lips. =0)

At the end of the day, most obstetricians and gynecologists have seen more pussy than probably the majority of us on this site combined, so if you're really in doubt, and want an "no-holds-barred" opinion from someone who has seen their fair share of pussy. . .why don't you ask your ob/gyn next time you go for a visit if he/she thinks that anything is out of the ordinary about your pussy lips, or if he/she thinks they are abnormal in anyway.

I think that would be your best bet. . .but after you get that opinion, you have to promise us (and yourself) that you will take that advice, and get on with your life, because I am pretty sure the opinion of your ob/gyn will go something like this: "Well, actually you'd be surprised to know that most women's pussies that I see look similar to yours.  They are all shapes and sizes, but I've seen the small labia protrude like yours, just as often as I have seen them NOT protrude.  So I'd say women with large inner labia are just as common as women with small inner labia, and I consider your pussy to be quite normal actually."

Take care and I hope this helps. . .

OH!  And give your boyfriend a high-five for me!

Miss Veneyola (for VEry NErvous YOung LAdy) you got some superb advice from the gang here! If this doesn't make a difference then, as Mr. The Marquis says in his brilliant response, there's just not much that anyone can do for you. Please read everything that has been said on this page and think it through, and through. And through again...

Dear Nervous,
please treat the afflicted area. Not your lovely body, but your mind. These attitudes you experience as your own could not have come from you. They must have come from others. Please seek a qualified therapist who specializes in body image and introjected toxic negative thoughts.  This will provide the best relief without mutilating yourself. I can guarantee you that if you cut yourself the toxic thoughts will find another part of you that does not meet some criteria and want to cut that too. Its a viscious disease. If then after that you and your therapist feel it is the right action, so be it.
best wishes on loving who you are the way the divine made you, brer

Veneyola

Please, before you make your final decision, give us a chance to change your mind. Your labia sound incredible, it would be a true crime if you were to kill them without at least giving us a chance to save them.

XOXO t_d
