basically one side of my labia has suddenly grown a lot bigger than the other, and i'm not sure why/ want it to go back to normal. i'm 18 and have been finished with puberty for a few years now, but this is a very recent thing. sometimes it is uncomfortable and irritated, but not always. when i masturbate I usually stick to the side that is bigger, so could that have irritated it? would not masturbating for a while make it go down? i'm not sure if this is normal or not, because most things i have found online are people who have always had it or have gotten it since they went through puberty, but it happened to me after puberty. any help is appreciated. thanks.

    Hi Ollie, OK what your getting from masturbation is all quite normal, if you stop it can go back then off you go again and up it will come again its called Labial Hperertrophy, My would get this from extended foreplay and oral sex but on both sides its just your vulva getting sexually engorged perhaps if can work with your other hand the other one will match it, then it wont look so bad,

    But tell you now a guy will never notice it, your just very normal. OK
