Where are the labia minora?

If the foreskin of the vulva is long, the secretions of the vulva will accumulate between the foreskin of the vulva and the glans vulva. If the foreskin is not opened in time and cleaned carefully, the dirt may irritate the mucous membrane and cause inflammation. Over time, the vulva and foreskin may adhere to each other, causing discomfort to the glans vulva, and it will also feel uncomfortable during sex. So where are the labia minora?

1. What do the labia minora look like?

The labia and clitoris are located in the center of the perineum, between the labia majora. From the tissue origin, the clitoral hood and labia are from the same tissue origin, which is equivalent to the foreskin of men. The normally grown clitoral hood is like a cone-shaped birthday hat, covering the clitoris, showing a smooth cone-shaped structure without unnecessary wrinkles.

The labia majora are located below the cone cap, originating from below the clitoris and widening downward to the vulva like two feathers, gently covering the urethral opening and the top of the vulva. When the legs are closed, the labia majora are completely covered and not exposed. To achieve this, the width of the labia majora should generally not exceed 1 cm.

2. Are enlarged labia minora caused by frequent forceful stretching?

The size of the labia is mostly innate. I will not deny that some people can make their labia bigger by stretching them frequently, but from another perspective, it is wrong to think that the labia minora is being pulled out. The growth and development of the labia majora starts with the onset of menstruation in girls. In young girls, the labia majora are almost invisible. When girls around 10 years old begin to have their periods, that is, when the body's estrogen and progesterone levels begin to rise, the labia majora also begin to grow. How long it grows is mostly determined by genes.

3. Are large labia minora the main sign of promiscuity? ?

There are always some little girls who come to my clinic and complain to me very aggrievedly. Because their labia minora are big, they are teased by their friends around them, and their boyfriends also think they are an "unpresentable" girl and break up with them. This kind of words really makes me feel helpless! I really want to say, "What the hell is this! What a mess of names? According to the theory that men's and women's labia and foreskin are derived from the same tissue, then boys with foreskin are all bastards?" This will cause many innocent boys and girls to suffer unjust accusations! ! Once again, it is important to note that the length and appearance of the labia minora is determined by the situation and is not controlled!

4. Is the dark color of the labia minora caused by frequent friction?

Asians, as African descent, have more obvious pigmentation in the perineum. White people have light brown and light pink, and most yellow people have coffee, light brown or even dark brown. The color of the labia minora is connected from the edge to the root. Generally, the color of the edge is darker, and the closer to the root, the lighter and closer to light pink the color will be. The larger the labia, the darker the edge will be. Therefore, don’t think that your color is wrong, most girls are like this! The areas that are often rubbed may also become partially rough and have darker colors, but in the labia majora, color and size are all innate and have little to do with acquired factors!
