Definition
Enlarged labia minora can lead to irritation, chafing, or pain during sexual intercourse, exercise, or wearing tight clothing.
Causes
The extra tissue of enlarged labia can rub against itself or clothing, causing friction and irritation. During sex, this friction can be particularly uncomfortable.
Solutions
- Lubrication: Using a lubricant during sex can significantly reduce friction and discomfort.
- Moisture-wicking Clothing: Opting for breathable, moisture-wicking fabrics for exercise wear can help prevent irritation.
- Protective Barriers: There are silicone or fabric liners available that can be worn during exercise or sex to minimize friction.
Disclaimer
If discomfort persists or worsens, consult a doctor to rule out any underlying medical conditions.
