Why are my labia majora enlarged?

The female reproductive system is complex. Take the labia for example. There are labia majora and labia minora, but they are all part of the vulva. After adulthood, women start having sex, and more sex will make their labia larger and their color darker. Of course, the enlargement of the labia majora is not just due to sexual activity. In any case, enlarged labia is not good, so we need to understand the reasons so that we can better deal with this problem.

The labia are an important part of the female external genitalia. It is divided into labia majora and labia minora. Labia majora: located on both sides of the vulva and may also grow hair. The labia majora may cover part or all of the vulva. The outside of the labia majora may be closer in color to the rest of the body, while the inside may be darker or lighter. But in fact there are many different variations. Labia minora: Two soft, dark-colored flaps of skin located inside the labia majora and outside the vaginal opening. However, in some special women, the "minor" labia may be larger and protrude more than the "major" labia. The labia are the "guardians" of the urinary and reproductive systems.

The hypertrophy of labia minora varies in shape, most of which are shaped like the ears of a long-eared dog or a pig. The appearance of the hypertrophy of labia minora is dark brown, curled and ugly, and the shape is also unpleasant. The hypertrophy of labia minora can be symmetrical or asymmetrical (different sizes on both sides). It can be congenital or acquired. Most of the acquired hypertrophy of labia minora is caused by long-term chronic stimulation or continuous friction of the local area, such as female vaginitis and vulvitis. Due to the long-term stimulation of inflammatory secretions, the skin and mucous membrane of the labia minora are chronically proliferated and hypertrophied, and the local skin and mucous membrane are rough and the pigment is aggravated. Some people who have been engaged in cycling or motorcycles for a long time may also suffer from hypertrophy of labia minora due to long-term friction and squeezing of the local area.

The labia minora are located on the inside of the labia majora and are also skin folds. No pubic hair grows on them. Their surface is smooth, delicate, and elastic. They are mostly light red in color, moist like mucous membranes, and have sebaceous glands distributed on them. There are blood vessels, elastic fibers and a small amount of smooth muscles under the skin, as well as rich nerve distribution, and the senses are very acute. There are great individual differences in the shape and size of the labia minora. Some people's labia minora are very narrow, while others' are very long and hang down to the outside of the labia majora. Some are very thick, some are very thin, some are irregular umbrella-shaped; some are as big as a fingernail and are typical semicircular. Some people's labia minora are light pink; some are brown-red; some people's labia minora even have two colors, the outer side is brown-black, and the inner side is pink. Generally speaking, its color deepens with age and number of births. Women in some African tribes are proud of the length of their labia minora, so they pull it from a young age. As a result, their labia minora become thick and long when they grow up, protruding high beyond the labia majora. However, their size has no obvious effect on sexual response.
