Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Gynecology

Background:

  • Labial hypertrophy, enlargement of the labia minora, can affect females of all ages.
  • The condition may lead to functional, social, esthetic, and sexual concerns.

Observation:

  • Presents two cases of labial hypertrophy in young adolescents.
  • A 10-year-old girl sought consultation for enlarged labia minora.
  • A 12-year-old girl with spina bifida experienced difficulties with intermittent catheterization due to labial hypertrophy.

Findings:

  • Discusses a simple reduction labioplasty technique.
  • Explores various surgical options for managing labial hypertrophy.

Implications:

  • Increased awareness of labial hypertrophy is needed in the pediatric population due to earlier sexual awareness.
  • Pediatric surgeons must be proficient in managing labial hypertrophy, particularly in girls with spina bifida.
  • Early intervention can address functional, social, and esthetic problems associated with labial hypertrophy.
