Doctor Says Everything’s Fine… But There’s Still Some Discomfort

The patient is 3 weeks and 4 days post-op from labiaplasty and, while her recovery has been going smoothly, she is experiencing intense itching and discomfort in a specific area. She recently had a post-op check-up, where her doctor reassured her that everything looked great. At this stage, itching is common as stitches dissolve and healing progresses, but monitoring for signs of infection—such as increased redness, warmth, unusual discharge, or worsening pain—is important. Since she recently saw her doctor and received reassurance, it’s likely part of normal healing, but continued observation will help ensure everything remains on track.
