Labiaplasty surgeries are often performed to reduce the size of the labia minora – the flaps of skin which cover either side of the vaginal opening. There can be a number of reasons why you may wish to investigate if a labiaplasty is right for you.

Endometriosis Specialist in London

Endometriosis Overview

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory condition where tissue similar to the lining of the uterus (endometrium) grows outside the uterine cavity. This misplaced tissue continues to act as it normally would during the menstrual cycle — thickening, breaking down, and bleeding — but because it has no way to exit the body, it becomes trapped, leading to various complications.

Prevalence

•⁠ ⁠Affects approximately 10% of reproductive-age women worldwide
•⁠ ⁠Often diagnosed between ages 25-35, though symptoms can begin in adolescence
•⁠ ⁠Can take 7-10 years on average from symptom onset to diagnosis

Common Symptoms

•⁠ ⁠Painful periods (dysmenorrhea)
•⁠ ⁠Chronic pelvic pain
•⁠ ⁠Pain during intercourse
•⁠ ⁠Painful bowel movements or urination during menstrual periods
•⁠ ⁠Excessive bleeding during periods or between periods
•⁠ ⁠Fatigue
•⁠ ⁠Infertility (affects about 30-50% of women with endometriosis)

Locations

Endometriosis tissue most commonly appears on:

•⁠ ⁠Ovaries
•⁠ ⁠Fallopian tubes
•⁠ ⁠Tissues holding the uterus in place
•⁠ ⁠Outer surface of the uterus
•⁠ ⁠Pelvic cavity lining
•⁠ ⁠Bowel or bladder (less common)

Diagnosis

•⁠ ⁠Medical history and symptom evaluation
•⁠ ⁠Pelvic exam
•⁠ ⁠Ultrasound, MRI
•⁠ ⁠Laparoscopy (gold standard for definitive diagnosis)

Treatment Options

•⁠ ⁠Pain medications (NSAIDs)
•⁠ ⁠Hormonal therapies (birth control pills, GnRH agonists)
•⁠ ⁠Conservative surgery to remove endometriosis lesions
•⁠ ⁠Hysterectomy in severe cases (typically with preservation of ovaries when possible)
•⁠ ⁠Lifestyle changes and complementary therapies

Impact on Quality of Life

Endometriosis can significantly impact daily functioning, relationships, work productivity, mental health, and family planning. Early diagnosis and a multidisciplinary approach to treatment can help manage symptoms and improve quality of life.
