When my teenage daughter approached me with 'mum, I think I have a problem...' 18 months ago I was not quite expecting this. Our female GP has agreed there is a problem and that she can get the op done on the NHS when the 'time is right'. A few weeks later I found myself in a Consultants room discussing the size of my daughters intimate parts as if they were her teeth - surreal. As she approaches 17 the problem is giving her much greater deep seated distress as she avoids having boyfriends and worries about wearing bikinis in public. I have had to cox her through some very dark periods as this is hardly something she can chat about with her friends and she lives in fear that someone might 'discover' her problem. Life as a teenager has been complicated enough already. She is determined that she wants the problem 'sorted' out so that she can get on with life (not necessarily sex as she says but just feeling relaxed). I am desperate that when it can be done that it is done well without any further trauma. Does anyone have experience of this?
