Shit.

Man, I havea problem that has been eating away at me for a good time now. I haven't spoken with anyone about this problem. It prevents me from having sex, and getting sexual alltogether. So I just looked it up on the internet, and it says that it's called my Labial. My left one if like REEEALLLLY bigger than my right one. I'm 15, and I'm supposed to be getting introduced to the beautiful wonders of tha sex life. But I always thought I had like a ball or something haha.
Anyways. Is it genetic? Because I wonder if my sister is dealing with the same problem. I remember it didn't used to look like on was bigger. It like hangs down below my flaps. And l, I think it's extremely unnatractive, and if I have sex with any teenage boy they are going to be disgusted.
Can someone give me some advise? It's been eating at me for a few years now, and it's time something is done.
I wanna get a surgury but I don't want my mom to know. I've thought about just numbing the area and surgically removing it myself, but I don't think I could come to terms with myself on doing something like that.
SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ASAP!

Please do NOT try to cut yourself.  This will only end badly.

The other poster is correct about talking to you mom.  She may want to take you to a doctor for an exam.  If you think you are mature enough for sex, then you need to be mature enough to honestly talk to the doctor about you labia.

All vaginas are different like snowflakes.  No two are alike.  As you grow older and mature you will realize this.  However the reality is that some of us like our vaginas and some don't.   It's no different than liking our noses, hair, feet, hands etc.  But it's who we are.   There is a website called The-Clitoris that has lots of photos.  I'll bet you can find some like (but not exactly) yours.   This may reassure you that yours is not ugly.

That being said, you are only 15.  Please do not rush into sex.  And when you are mature enough to make love, please realize that the man you chose will not think your vagina is ugly.

I was at first thinking that it might be cancer or somethin. But idk, I told her to make an appt w/ my birthcontrol lady so I can talk about it freely with her and the doctor.
Thanks for your help

Why don't you want to tell your mom when something is really wrong? Mom's are there to help you with the important stuff, not just the little things in life. I think you are embarrassed about your vagina because of immaturity, but your mom is not going to be embarrassed talking to you about it. Your mother is very comfortable with the whole vagina thing. She has had years to get used to it and to her it will really be no big deal. She talks to the doctors about her vagina all the time. The reason why you need to tell your mom is because this may or may not be a big deal for you. There are many things that could have caused your symptoms. It could just be the way your grew, or it could be something bad. Whenever you notice something going on with yourself that doesn't seem right, you have to tell your mom because it could be something serious, you never know with these things. Don't ever hide anything that is wrong with your body. Even young people can get sick and just like adults, they can die if they don't get the help they need right away. Your mom knows that you don't go messing around hiding information about strange symptoms you might have. You need to open that line of communication with your mom and keep it open. She was a kid just like you at one time, she understands how you feel about things, but what you are doing right now is wrong and dangerous.
