Yes, you can undergo labioplasty if you have a history of urinary tract issues. In fact, in some cases, labioplasty can help to reduce the risk of recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs). This is because an enlarged labia can trap secretions like sweat, urine, and vaginal discharges. Once trapped in the external genitalia, it becomes difficult to clean properly after urinating and during bathing, causing the growth of bacteria. For many people, this can lead to chronic UTIs which can lead to kidney infections. Labiaplasty may help to reduce the size of the labia and improve airflow in the area, making it easier to keep clean and reducing the risk of UTIs.

However, it is important to discuss your history of UTIs with your surgeon before undergoing labioplasty. They will be able to assess your individual risk factors and determine if labioplasty is the right procedure for you.

Here are some things to keep in mind if you are considering labioplasty for the treatment of urinary tract issues:

  • Labiaplasty is not a cure for UTIs. However, it can help to reduce the risk of recurrent infections.
  • You will need to follow your surgeon’s instructions carefully after surgery to reduce the risk of infection.
  • It is important to keep the area clean and dry during the healing process.
  • You may experience some discomfort or pain after surgery. This is usually temporary and can be managed with over-the-counter pain medication.

If you are considering labioplasty for the treatment of urinary tract issues, talk to your doctor or a plastic surgeon. They can help you determine if this is the right procedure for you and answer any questions you may have.
