The shape of the labia

Many female friends do not know much about the shape of their labia. This part mainly starts to develop after entering puberty, and it is a very critical sexual organ. It plays a very important role in the process of sexual life. If there is a problem with the labia, it will affect your sex life and even cause some gynecological diseases. Therefore, you must pay attention to the care of the labia.

The labia minora is located inside 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.

The labia majora are a pair of oblong raised skin folds on both sides of the vulva, close to the inner sides of the thighs. It is connected to the mons pubis in front and the perineum in the back; it stretches downward and backward from the mons pubis. The left and right labia majora in front join at the mons pubis to form the anterior commissure, and the two ends in the back join under the frenulum to form the posterior commissure, which is located in front of the anus. There is pubic hair outside the labia majora. Subcutaneous tissue is thicker, loose adipose tissue, elastic fibers and venous plexus, which are prone to hematoma after injury. The skin on the outer side is pigmented and has pubic hair; the inner side is light pink, similar to a mucous membrane, and has no pubic hair. During a girl's childhood, the two labia majora 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 majora of unmarried adult women and obese women close naturally, covering the labia minora, vaginal opening and urethral opening. The labia majora of multiparous women spread apart due to the impact of childbirth. There are great individual differences in the labia majora, some are fat and thick, while others are small and thin.

The labia minora are a pair of longitudinal skin and mucosal folds located between the labia majora on both sides. The labia minora are soft, have no subcutaneous fat, are rich in sebaceous glands and sweat glands, and have a moist, smooth and hairless surface. There is a rich distribution of nerves under the mucosa, so the sensitivity is very keen. The labia minora are thin, and their size and shape vary greatly from person to person. Some are not symmetrical, one side is bigger than the other side, which is normal. For unmarried and married women who have not given birth, the labia minora are closed, which plays a role in protecting the vagina and internal reproductive organs and is part of the female natural defense function.
