A new technique has been developed to reduce the labia minora yet maintain the normal labial edge and color. Labia minora enlargement can be congenital or acquired by chronic irritation, exogenous androgenic hormones, and stretching with weights. This can cause inflammation, poor hygiene, interference with sexual intercourse, or intermittent urinary self-catheterization. Aesthetically, asymmetrical or enlarged labia minora causes self-consciousness sexually and when the subject wears tight pants. Previously labia minora reduction was performed by amputation of the protuberant segment and oversewing the edge. Now, rather than amputation, a wedge of protuberant labial tissue is excised and the labial edges are reapproximated. Four patients have undergone this aesthetic procedure with excellent results. No complications occurred. The new technique is relatively simple and can greatly enhance the patient's confidence.
一种新的技术已被开发出来，用于缩小小阴唇，同时保持正常的阴唇边缘和颜色。小阴唇增大可能是先天性的，也可能是由慢性刺激、外源性雄激素激素以及重物拉伸所导致。这可能会引起炎症、卫生状况不佳、性交障碍或间歇性自行导尿。从美学角度来看，不对称或增大的小阴唇会导致患者在性行为时以及穿着紧身裤时产生自我意识问题。以前，小阴唇缩小手术是通过切除突出部分并缝合边缘来进行的。现在，不再是切除，而是切除一块突出的阴唇组织楔块，并使阴唇边缘重新对合。四名患者接受了这种美容手术，效果极佳。未出现并发症。这项新技术相对简单，能够极大地增强患者的信心。
