Also known as: Small or absent labia
The labia are the two inner and outer protective lips/folds of the vagina. Labial hypoplasia is the harmless condition where one or both sides of the labia either are missing or don't grow normally during puberty.
The cause of labial hypertrophy is not known.
There are no symptoms of labial hypoplasia and it doesn't affect sexual function.
No treatment is typically necessary; cosmetic surgery can be performed to make the labia match in size if desired.
