Question: Dear doctor,

I had labiaplasty five months ago – one side of labia minora was twice longer than the other, so it was shortened – trimmed. However, even after 6 month I still feel soreness and pain every day – I suffer wearing underwear, not to mention that I do not wear jeans anymore, because it hurts whenever the cut area touches any harder material. I also feel that there are hard lines inside the flesh when I touch it. I have talked to the doctor who performed a surgery, the experienced gynecologist, and the answer was it might be that a nerve got stuck and suggested I should wait. What else could that be? Are there any methods to solve this and relieve the pain? Injections, creams, massage, revisionary surgery? I have been already waiting for so long and this pain and inability to live active life as before has almos grown into a depression...

Moreover, I am also disappointed by the result – now the right side is shorter than the left one and instead of a long labia now there’s only a tiny fat line (as I see it was cut very close to the roots). Are there any methods to make the trimmed labia at least slightly longer (I know it probably sounds stupid, since I wanted it to be shortened, but I did not expect that it would be cut so considerably). It is very uncomfortable, because it not only hurts, but is hanging in a strange position and I feel as if it is an empty space down there, which I cannot get used to for almost half a year...

Thank you for your help and advice.
