Why do women's labia turn black?

Because of the differences between foreign countries and China, people have different concepts about private life. As women, they don’t want their private parts to change in color. They are always ashamed to go to the hospital for relevant examinations after finding that their labia have become darker. So everyone will learn some knowledge on the Internet. In fact, there is a reason why the labia becomes darker. Let’s take a look below.

Modern women have higher and higher requirements for beauty. They not only pay attention to the appearance, but also pay attention to the invisible inner self. The mysterious "butterfly zone" has become another topic.

1. Where are the labia?

In the traditional impression, the labia is located in a mysterious area, a mysterious triangle that even people are embarrassed to peek into.

The private parts that we usually talk about are actually the labia minora. The labia minora are located on the inner side of the labia majora, extending from the clitoris to the frenulum. They are composed of connective tissue rich in blood vessels, so they appear pink on the surface and are covered with stratified squamous epithelial tissue. The front part of the labia minora is divided into two parts, the inner and outer parts. The outer parts on both sides combine to form the foreskin of the clitoris, while the outer parts form the frenulum of the clitoris.

The labia majora are two arc-shaped skin folds made of fat that can be seen from the outside. In fact, there are many pubic hairs, sweat glands and sebaceous glands on the skin on the outer side, while the inner side is smooth and hairless, which can surround and protect other external genitalia. The structure of the private parts is very complex and sensitive, and some incorrect maintenance concepts can cause harm to the private parts. The labia is an acidic environment with a pH value of about 4. There are many lactobacilli in the vagina that maintain a healthy vaginal environment. Under normal circumstances, the number of other bacteria is very small. However, if there is external interference (especially the use of detergents) or self-vaginal washing, bacterial proliferation and infection may occur.
