Hypertrophy of labia minora in myelodysplastic women. Labioplasty to ease clean intermittent catheterization

Urology. 1988 Apr;31(4):294-9. doi: 10.1016/0090-4295(88)90083-0.

Abstract

Female myelodysplastic patients are sometimes annoyed by hypertrophy of the labia minora, possibly caused by long-term diaper dermatitis. This condition makes intermittent catheterization difficult and impairs the cleanliness and aesthetic appearance of the external genitalia. We successfully performed labioplasty on 3 myelodysplastic females.
