摘要

简介小阴唇肥大的特征是阴唇组织超出大阴唇;然而,肥大的确切定义却存在争议。虽然阴唇肥大在女性中非常普遍,但禁忌/争议态度和手术干预仍占主导地位。对小阴唇肥大的认识和研究将增加我们对这一代表性不足的解剖多样性的了解:报告有关小阴唇肥大的现有文献,讨论小阴唇肥大的定义、病因、态度、管理和医疗化及其影响:方法:全面回顾与小阴唇肥大有关的文献:结果:小阴唇的外观和测量结果千差万别,肥大在人群中极为普遍,且多为非病理性肥大。目前仍缺乏界定小阴唇肥大的标准化标准。全球各地对阴唇肥大的态度不尽相同,但在西方国家,人们对阴唇肥大的压倒性情绪在很大程度上已被医学化:结论:对非病理性阴唇肥大的消极态度和不必要的医学化是没有道理的,而且会带来潜在风险。非病理性阴唇肥大的非医学化、教育公众关于生殖器外观的多样性以及提高对生殖器整容手术的长期效果和风险的认识仍然迫在眉睫。

Labia minora hypertrophy: pathologizing diversity?

Introduction: Labia minora hypertrophy can be characterized by the labial tissue extending beyond the labia majora; however, the exact definition of hypertrophy is a matter of debate. While the prevalence of labia hypertrophy is very common among women, taboo/controversial attitudes and surgical interventions still dominate. The recognition and study of labia minora hypertrophy will increase our knowledge of this underrepresented anatomic diversity.

Objectives: To provide a report of the current literature on labia hypertrophy and discuss the definition, etiology, attitudes, management, and medicalization surrounding labia minora hypertrophy and the implications.

Methods: Comprehensive review of literature pertaining to labia minora hypertrophy.

Results: Labia minora appearance and measurements vary extensively, and hypertrophy is extremely prevalent in the population and largely nonpathologic. There remains a lack of standardized criteria to define labia hypertrophy. Attitudes surrounding labia hypertrophy differ globally, but in Western nations the overwhelming sentiment toward labia hypertrophy has largely been medicalized.

Conclusion: Negative attitudes and unnecessary medicalization of nonpathologic instances of labia hypertrophy is unjustifiable and comes with potential risks. There remains an impending need to demedicalize nonpathologic elongated labia, educate the public on diverse genital appearance, and improve understanding of the long-term outcomes and risks of genital cosmetic surgery.
