Large (inner) labia can lead to many complaints. For instance, you may experience discomfort during daily activities such as cycling, but it can also make you insecure during intimate sexual contact.
Whether the cost of a labia correction will be reimbursed by your health insurer is determined by whether there is a medical indication. A medical indication means that there must be severe deformity of the labia, for example caused by illness, mutilation, an accident or a medical procedure.
Unfortunately, the daily inconvenience you may experience from large labia is almost never enough reason for a health insurer to reimburse for a labia correction. This is because it is not considered a medical necessity in that case. If you want to be completely sure what your health insurer thinks about reimbursement for labia correction, it is best to discuss your eligibility directly with them.
