Massive labia minor hypertrophy following vulvar edema and abscess in pregnancy--case report.
A rare case is presented of vulvar edema and abscess with subsequent labia minor hypertrophy in a 26-year-old woman, which developed during two consecutive pregnancies with normal maternal and neonatal outcome. After a first pregnancy, the patient was initially treated conservatively, followed by incision of the abscess. After the second pregnancy, surgical correction of the hypertrophic labia minor was performed. The possible causes, complications and therapeutic options are discussed.
