What is the reason for protruding labia minora?

Many female friends are troubled by gynecological diseases, which is of course inevitable for every female friend. A relatively common gynecological disease is vaginitis. Of course, there are also some very common diseases, such as protruding labia minora. So what is the cause of protruding labia minora? Let me introduce it to you today.

The labia minora are prominent and the normal labia minora have a natural curve. Hypertrophy of the labia minora refers to the overdevelopment of the labia minora, which are significantly enlarged and thickened, dark brown or black in appearance, and wrinkled and curled like cauliflower. Enlarged labia minora

Enlarged labia minora can be congenital or acquired. Acquired enlargement of the labia minora is mostly caused by long-term local chronic irritation or continuous friction, such as female vaginitis and vulvitis. Due to long-term stimulation of inflammatory secretions, the skin and mucous membrane of the labia minora chronically proliferate and hypertrophy, the local skin and mucous membrane become rough, and the pigmentation becomes heavier. Some people who ride bicycles or motorcycles for a long time may also suffer from hypertrophy of the labia minora due to long-term friction and compression of the local area.

The labia is part of the female external reproductive organs, which includes the labia majora and labia minora, like two "gates" to protect the vaginal opening and urethral opening from contamination.

During a girl's childhood, the two labia are tightly closed with a slight gap in the middle. After puberty begins, pubic hair begins to grow on the outside of the labia majora, while the inside becomes smooth and moist. After entering puberty, small raised spots will grow on the inner side of the labia, which are oil glands. These glands secrete oil to keep the area lubricated.

The labia minora is located on the inner side of the labia majora and is also divided into two parts. It is the second gateway to protect the vagina and urethra. The labia minora are not obvious during childhood, but begin to enlarge during puberty. The labia minora is smooth and moist inside and out, and is rich in nerve endings, making it one of the sexually sensitive areas. When sexually excited, the labia minora become engorged and swollen, and their volume can increase two to three times, which can increase the effective length of the vagina by more than one centimeter.

Through the above introduction, I believe everyone has a good understanding of the reasons for the protruding labia minora. In fact, the labia minora of many female friends are different. It is even more common for them to be of different sizes. So don’t worry, it has no impact on your sex life or fertility. If you want to remove it, the operation is very simple.
