Hi,

Various non-surgical treatments can help alleviate the symptoms of labial hypertrophy. Here are some suggestions:
- Avoid tight clothing and synthetic fabrics that can cause irritation and sweat in the genital area.
- Use a mild, fragrance-free soap to cleanse the genital area.
- Apply a cool compress or ice pack to the area to reduce inflammation and itching.
- Use a topical cream containing hydrocortisone to reduce itching and inflammation.
- Avoid sexual activity until the symptoms have subsided.
- Try using a lubricant during sexual activity to reduce friction.

It is important to consult with a healthcare provider to determine the cause of your labial hypertrophy and persistent symptoms. They may recommend additional treatments or refer you to a specialist.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Priyanka, General & Family Physician
