The female vulva always gives people a mysterious feeling, and the color of the female vulva has a relatively important relationship with age. When women are young, their genitals are relatively red and pink. As they age, the melanin content gradually increases and the color gradually turns darker. This is a normal physiological phenomenon. Strengthening the care of the genitals can help improve the color of the genitals.

What color is the female vulva? It is reported that the color of the female vulva is different at different times. The initial color is red, but the vulva of women who exercise frequently tends to turn black due to friction. In addition, women who frequently masturbate are likely to have their vulva darken, and those who have had vulvar inflammation or have sexual intercourse are also likely to have their vulva darken. At the same time, often wearing tight pants will cause frequent friction between the pants and the vulva, which can easily cause the vulva to turn black. Another thing is that the color of the vulva of a mature woman gradually deepens from the initial red. The following is a specific method for women to check the color of their vulva:

1. The best time to check the color of your vulva is after taking a shower. At this time, you can choose to take a small mirror. Then place the mirror in front of your private parts so that you can see the full picture of your private parts in the small mirror.

2. After seeing the whole picture, use your fingers to search all surfaces of the private parts. First, you can touch the skin around the private parts with your fingers to see if there are any abnormal protrusions. If not, then nothing happens.

3. Next, let’s look at the color. For healthy and mature women, the color of the vulva is slightly darker than other parts of the body. The older you are, the darker the color. If you find that your genitals are pale or very red, you should go to the hospital for a check-up. It could be gynecological inflammation or a type of diabetes.

What is the structure of the female vulva?

The female genitals include the vulva and vagina, the exposed part of the reproductive organs, also known as the vulva. It includes the mons pubis, vestibular bulb, urethral opening, labia majora, vaginal opening, clitoris, vestibule, labia majora, labia minora, and Bartholin's glands. The following is specific information about the structure of the female vulva:

1. Mons pubis. It is the part of the vulva that raises in front of the pubic symphysis, and is composed of skin and a very thick layer of fat. Pubic hair begins to grow during puberty in the form of a triangle with a downward-pointing tip.

2. Vestibular bulbs. It is a pair of spongy tissues, also known as the corpus cavernosum, which has erectile properties. Located on both sides of the vaginal opening. It is connected to the clitoral vein in front and the Bartholin's gland in the back. Its surface is covered by the bulbospongiosus muscle and it is prone to bleeding after injury.

3. Urethra opening. Between the lower edge of the pubic symphysis and the vaginal opening is an irregular oval hole through which urine flows out. There is a pair of glands on the posterior wall, called paraurethral glands, which open on the posterior wall of the urethra and are often where bacteria lurk.

4. There is pubic hair outside the labia majora. Subcutaneous tissue contains adipose tissue, elastic fibers and venous plexus, which are prone to hematoma after injury. The labia majora of unmarried women close naturally, covering the vaginal opening and urethral opening. The labia majora of multiparous women spread apart due to the impact of childbirth.

5. The vaginal opening is covered by an incompletely closed mucous membrane called the hymen. There is a hole in the middle of the hymen through which menstrual blood flows out. The size of the hymen hole and the thickness of the membrane vary from person to person. After the hymen is broken, the mucous membrane appears as many small round balls, which become the hymen scar.

6. Clitoris. Located at the top between the labia minora on both sides, it is a small oblong organ with a round head at the end and the inner end connected to a thin bundle of erectile tissue. Erectile tissue is a kind of spongy tissue with rich venous plexus and nerve endings, so it is sensitive and prone to bleeding after injury. A woman's clitoris is equivalent to the glans of a man's penis.
