Why do women's private parts turn black?

The private parts of female friends generally will not turn dark. If they find that they have turned dark, it may be due to lack of restraint in sexual life, or it may be a clinical manifestation caused by repeated friction during sexual intercourse by male friends. Therefore, you should know how to control these things. For a small number of female friends, it is actually caused by genetics. If this is the case, no treatment is needed.

There are many interesting speculations about the darkening of the labia majora[2], such as "women's labia majora turn dark due to friction caused by walking", "some cleaning liquids are not good, and it seems that many cleaning liquids are corrosive", etc. These statements are funny, but not scientific. In fact, the darkening of female labia usually involves the following reasons: [3]

Genetics

The first genetic reason: The original color of the nipples or labia majora and labia minora is determined by genetic factors. For young women who have no experience of pregnancy or childbirth, even if their labia are black, it is congenital.

Sexual life

Second, it is caused by too frequent sexual intercourse: during sexual intercourse, the labia majora is repeatedly stimulated by external friction for a long time, resulting in increased local pigmentation. The color will become darker with the passage of time. This is a normal physiological phenomenon. At the same time, the melanin produced by hormones during sexual stimulation will also turn the labia majora into a dark color.

Vaginal self-examination requires a small mirror as a prop and can be done after bathing. When any abnormality is found, the doctor should give the most professional guidance.

Look for any unusual bumps or lumps. If you feel any abnormality or itching in your genital skin, contact your doctor immediately.

Dark spots

It could be a sign of vulvar cancer. Vulvar cancer is a rare type of skin cancer that can be fatal if not treated early. But as long as you seek medical treatment early, 90% of them can be cured.

Lump

It could be folliculitis, blocked sebaceous glands, a benign tumor, or rarely, vulvar cancer. If the lump does not disappear after 2 weeks, you should see a doctor immediately.

White spots, dry skin like paper

It could be vulvar psoriasis. This type of psoriasis is caused by endocrine imbalance. If not treated in time, it will cause labia atrophy. [4]

The female genitals are moist all year round. If they can be adequately ventilated, the possibility of gynecological diseases can be reduced. Excessive moisture in the private parts can easily lead to candidal vaginitis. Try to avoid using non-breathable sanitary pads. Don't sit for long periods of time. Lack of exercise in the lower body can lead to pelvic congestion, which is not good for the heart and blood vessels, and can also cause sagging breasts in women. Persisting in exercise and strengthening the waist and abdominal muscles can greatly help maintain your figure and prevent various gynecological diseases such as pelvic inflammatory disease, and can also improve the quality of your sex life. There are many yoga exercises that specifically target abdominal circulation and are very effective.
