Why is one side of the labia majora larger than the other?

The harm of one side of the vulva being larger than the other to women, the hypertrophy of the labia minora can be symmetrical or asymmetrical (the two sides are different sizes). Some are congenital, while others are acquired due to long-term slow stimulation or continuous friction of the part.
