Every woman is unique and therefore every labia correction is also different. Due to too large inner labia, you may experience discomfort during physical exertion or sexual intercourse. Also, asymmetrical labia may be visible while wearing a bikini, for example, which creates uncertainty.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>It is imperative that we take good care of our vagina. It is the central point where new life begins and where female energy resides. We therefore consider it extra important to communicate openly about this and give extra tips. Because it is an intimate procedure, you need to feel confident with the doctor. The clients we have had the pleasure of treating feel freer, more confident and more feminine after the surgical treatment.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>We share the 10 reasons why women opt for a labia correction. Do you have doubts or do you still find it too exciting? Feel free to drop by for a no-obligation consultation. Our consultant will listen to your story and give appropriate advice based on your wishes.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong><em>Outward uncertainty<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>One of the most common reasons is appearance. Some women feel the proportions are not quite right and want this to be symmetrical. Asymmetry can bring insecurity. During labia correction, this can be corrected nicely.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><strong><em>Discomfort during sexual intercourse<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>A common problem among women is self-image during sexual intercourse. You can think of asymmetry or when the inner labia are proportionally larger than the outer labia. This can be painful and cause uncertainty during sexual intercourse. During a labia correction, the inner labia can be reduced in size, thereby remedying both problems.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><strong><em>Discomfort when wearing underwear<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Some women may experience pain while wearing certain types of underwear or tight trousers. This is caused when the labia minora is too long, causing friction with clothing fabric. In this case, the inner labia will be reduced in size.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><strong><em>Change after child birth<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>It is common among women for the labia to change after childbirth. This includes stretching or tearing of the labia. As a result, this can be found unsightly or uncomfortable, for example during activities. During a labia correction, our specialists can remove damaged labia tissue and scars.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li><strong><em>Trouble during physical exertion<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Every vagina is different; this is of course due to the natural construction of the female body. Because the ratio is not the same in every woman, the labia minora may sometimes protrude over the labia majora. This can lead to irritation and chronic pain during physical exertion. For example, during long walks, running or playing tennis. The inner labia will be reduced in size to remedy the pain\/irritation.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"6\">\n<li><strong><em>Change due to age<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>With age, the skin becomes looser, the tissue weaker and everything starts to droop a bit more. This also applies to the labia. The labia tissue can become slacker, looser, softer and more open. This can feel heavier as the labia sags down a little more.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"7\">\n<li><strong><em>Visibility when wearing swimwear or sportswear<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Let's preface by saying that no one is symmetrical, everyone is authentic. Unfortunately, labia asymmetry can bring insecurity. When one labia is larger than the other, it can be visible when wearing tight sportswear or a swimwear. During a labia correction, our certified ars will correct this.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"8\">\n<li><strong><em>Trouble during menstruation<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Due to oversized labia or protruding inner labia, you may experience discomfort during menstruation. The blood cannot be collected properly in the sanitary pad, which can cause irritation and pain. It can also be disruptive while inserting a tampon, for example. We understand that this is not pleasant and can correct this nicely.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"9\">\n<li><strong><em>Discomfort while riding a bicycle<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>When the inner labia are proportionally larger, this can cause irritation. Constant rubbing of the labia on hard surfaces while cycling or horse riding can be very painful. Our specialist can reduce the size of the inner labia which can permanently remedy this problem.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ol start=\"10\">\n<li><strong><em>The perfect picture<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Perfection does not exist in our eyes, but a perfectly created image can make you insecure. You mostly see and hear what is beautiful but not always what is slightly less beautiful or perfect. We understand that it is hard not to be critical of yourself or put it off because you are ashamed of it or don't want to talk about it. This can cause you to walk around with problems for longer, which can make it worse. All information is strictly confidential at our clinic and we treat it with great care.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>During a (free) no-obligation consultation, our consultant will listen to your story, give appropriate advice and create a personal treatment plan based on your wishes.<\/p>\n                                                                            <\/div>\n                                                                                    <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n                            <\/div>\n\n                            <div class=\"right-side\">\n                    <div class=\"blog-detail-sidebar\">\n                        <div class=\"sidebar-wrapper is-centered\">\n\n                                                            <div class=\"specialist\">\n                                                                            <h3>KNMG Certified Cosmetic Physician &amp;
