This is not mentioned here on this site but with respect to labia issues, I wanted to put in my 2 cents worth.
Labia itching, extreme/intense, at the pubic line has plagued me for several years. Recently, I itched while sleeping so bad I caused an ulcer to develop. VERY painful.
The cream my skin doc. had prescribed was not helping with the itching this time. I grabbed a jar of Calcium Bentonite Clay that was handy on my bathroom sink and applied the powder all around. The itching stopped immediately. No pain except the ulcer from patting the powder on it.
It's been 5 days, applying the powder once a day in the am, the ulcer is healing and there is zero itching.
Relief! Hope this helps someone.

Hello, I don't know of a natural remedy, but you don't need to be fearful of the surgery. Who told you it is very painful? I had labial reduction surgery about 12 years ago. It was a short outpatient surgery (I was able to go home soon after that same day). It was not that painful as I recall. My only issue was that the antibiotics I took afterward caused a yeast infection, for which my doctor perscribed diflucan. But you can take natural things to prevent this, which I didn't at the time. I am so glad I had it done, as I was so uncomfortable for many years before (since hitting puberty). Best wishes to you and hope it goes well.

Hi there, since having my son, my labia minora grew significantly to the point that wearing underwear is uncomfortable. Doctors have told me that the only way to cure it is to get labiaplasty (cutting the labia off). This is a very painful proceedure, and really scares me. I have even tried using hemroid cream for the loose skin, but nothing seems to work. I wondered if anyone knows of at home remedies to remove or shorten them. Even if it means I have to tie something around them till they fall off! I'm desparate! Elise

I had the surgery years ago. It wasn't that painful. Nothing like childbirth anyway. I am glad I did it.
