Labiaplasty
Large Labia Irritating 1 Year Old, What Do I Do?
Infants can be under the influence of maternal estrogen and can have issues like this occur. You should seek the advice of your neonatologist or pediatrician. Qe perform labiaplasty frequently and would not consider surgery an appropriate management technique unless this was part of a documented congenital anomaly.
Clinical Context
Labial swelling in infants sometimes reflects lingering hormonal influence from birth, but by one year of age that effect should have resolved. Persistent enlargement at this stage is less likely to be hormonal and more likely to reflect normal anatomic variation or, rarely, a structural difference present since birth. A pediatrician or pediatric gynecologist can examine your child, rule out any anomaly, and reassure you whether treatment is ever needed—surgery is almost never appropriate for a toddler unless a true anomaly is confirmed.
