Can labia majora surgery help chronic itching? Feminine surgery in Seoul, Korea
The short answer
Rarely, and only after other causes are ruled out. Most vulvar itching comes from infections such as yeast, skin conditions, or irritation from products, and is treated medically. For persistent, unexplained itching of the outer labia that does not respond, partial excision of the affected tissue is sometimes considered.
Start with a swab and exam; see yeast infection and vaginitis. More: labia majora surgery.
