I've noticed over the past year that my right labia minora has swollen and gotten bigger than it usually is. It's not painful, just feels sort of fat and bigger, which makes walking really uncomfortable for me. I'm trying to figure out what's going on with it. Also, I've been getting painful acne on the softer skin in that area. Could this have anything to do with constipation? I'm wondering if there's a way to get it back to its normal size.

I'm worried because I've missed my period after taking the i-pill three months ago. I did get my period twice after taking it, but now Ive skipped it in December. Could you please suggest any medications or withdrawal treatments that might help regulate my cycle, like it used to be before I took the i-pill?
You can consider taking Regestrone or Deviry to induce your periods and regulate your menstrual cycle.
