Embarrassing Illnesses

i also have an enlarged labia and was very self conscious with my body.This isn't a problem to men and i realised this when the person i lost my virginity to complemented me and said that he loved it. This made me more confident with my body. My boyfriend also hasn't said anything to me about it either and i feel comfortable being naked around him. You have nothing to worry about, in my opinion i think men like an enlarged labia more than a smaller one.

mine is far worse!!!!
what was she complaining about, i would rather have her lips than mine!!!
they wasnt even bad!

Im 16..nearly 17. ive been with my boyfriend for a year and 4 months. we both are very sexually active.. is dat a good thing or bad? because last year, some people came to my school and was talking about HPV and the said if your sexually active your most likely to have HPV. But Ive got myself checked up for anything, but i was clean. so since me and my boyfriend been together we have sex everyday. And about my labia, ive got it got cut (circumised) since i was very little so ive got no problem about it, and my boyfriend and other people that i have had sex with says it feel very nice. thats why my boyfriend wants to do it most of the time and now i started takin the pill, he likes it more but he can't last very long and sometimes it annoys me.. is dat normal for a boy no to last very lonng?

i hate my vagina the labia is worse thn hers in this video its really embarrasing and i jst wish it was gone i would really lke tht surgery she had and wz wondering if its free on the nhs.

i am 16 and since i can remember i av always hated my labia i think its absolutly horrible and have always wanted it removed but i have never told or shown it anyone it doesnt really hand down it just sticks out a little bit and it feels horribe when i touch it also the "hood" of my clit is abit enlarged I dont want to go to my gp on my own or have surgery on my own, but im to scared to tell anyone. I have bin with my boyfriend for a year and 7 months and he has never seen my vigina. He used to ask questions why i never let him touch it or see it in the light and i just used to say cuz i dont want you to and change the subject. He gets frustrated sometimes when he feels like having sex and wants to touch me and i push him away i am getting really sick off it and just want it go away!!!!

I have enlarged labia and hood- i hate the way they look and feel so embarrassed about it! im 17 and sexually active, and every time i have a sexual encounter with a guy i feel so embarrassed and get so shy. i'm embarrassed to tell my mum or anyone about it because its just so uncomfortable, i want to get surgery to have them removed but i dont know anything about it, can i get information about it?

none of the guys i have been with has said anything but i still feel like its affecting my confidence majorly- they stick out and i feel so uncomfortable in a bikini because of it- summer was dreadful! i would like to know where i can get help and if surgery is free or not etc. help?

Hi, i'm 19yrs old and haven't had sex in over a year because i'm embarrassed of my vagina. The hood and labia are really large and they hang and it sometimes comes out the underwear. I really don't feel comfortable and i have spoken to my mum and i know she is only joking but she sometimes says it looks like a little penis. What can i do to feel more comfortable with myself and to feel comfortable with having sex???

i always thought my labia was quite large, but after seeing this video it made me feel worse! because mine are a little bit bigger than that, and if that woman needed surgery do i too?
it doesn't get in the way at all but its just its physical appearance is just ugly.

A few years ago i had an enlarged labia minora. This is the inner labia lip. Te way mine was, it hung about 1 – 2 cm longer than the outer lips itself, this was just on my right hand side. I was about 15 when i started to get self consious about this and decided to confide within my mum.

This put me off having boyfriends, or showing myself to anyone. I went to my local GP about the matter, showed him my labia, and said how upset i was and i didnt like the way i was. He just dismissed how i felt and said there woman of all sizes and shapes so i should be comftable with myself.

I then went to another GP and had another point of view. The other GP i saw was understanding, she investigated into how i felt and disgussed some options with me.

When i was 16, after nearly a year of investigation and disgussion on my labia by different GP's and surgeons. I had the extended part of my labia minor removed.

As i see above, another girl has said that her hood above her clit is enlarged and 'saggy' as it was put. This is the same with me, they could not alter this area and cut the skin away due to the small space between the clit and it would affect my sensitivity. I had my righ side of my labia minor trimmed down in an operation.

I am now 17 and have no regrets about my choice, in my view for me it was right. I went through the right people, and did it all tyhe right way. The NHS way. It has deffinately changed my life, i can fully understand what all you girls are feeling, and the insecurity. I had it all to. But now a year on im all healed, still have an enlarged hood, but its the character to my 'down their bits', makes them mine. And plus my boyfriend thinks its lovely. No girl has to have a perfect one.

Id just advise that if you do want to have it changed down their, make sure its for the right reasons. For you, no one else. And that you have thought it through and have gone through a professional who knows what their doing.

I have the same problem but 'the hood' of my clit is also large aswell as my labia, my ex boyfriend commented on my 'saggy fanny' and ever since then i cant feel normal about it and get it off my mind. I'm 18 in a few months and really want to feel conftable with my own body but i just dont see how i can, i feel embarresed about it all the time – i just really want to feel normal – is there anything i can do?
