Is it normal to have one side of the vagina enlarged?

Although the female genitals are in a very private area, many women still care about the shape of their genitals, because the shape of the genitals directly affects the pleasure of women's sexual life and their self-confidence. Many women observe the shape of their genitals when they go to the toilet, but some women find that only one side of their genitals is enlarged. Is this normal?

The labia minora are a pair of longitudinal skin folds located on the inner side of the labia majora. They are thin and small, with a smooth surface, no pubic hair, and are elastic. In addition to being extremely sensitive to sexual stimulation, they also have a protective function for the adjacent urethral and vaginal openings. The labia minora are thin, and their size and shape vary greatly from person to person. Some are not symmetrical, one side is bigger than the other side, which is normal. Generally speaking, in the later development process, after the labia majora develop, the labia minora will shrink inward. For girls with a thin body, the labia minora will also be like this. It will not have much impact on your health.

However, the labia minora is too enlarged and has affected normal life. In fact, labia hypertrophy is a problem that is neither big nor small. Although it is not a disease and is a phenomenon that many women have, it can cause a lot of unhappiness and embarrassment in daily life.

Genetics, hormones, and hermaphroditism can all cause clitoral hypertrophy

The causes of clitoral enlargement can be either congenital or acquired. From the perspective of congenital factors, clitoral hypertrophy is often related to genetic genes, caused by abnormal development of the reproductive tubercle under the control of genetic genes during the embryonic development period; in addition, excessively high levels of sex hormones can also cause clitoral hypertrophy, but the specific cause requires careful examination to be determined; experts point out that some patients with clitoral hypertrophy may be patients with hermaphroditism, and such patients should go to the hospital for a comprehensive physical examination. As for acquired factors, clitoral hypertrophy may also be caused by repeated and prolonged self-masturbation or frequent stimulation of the clitoris by sexual partners.

What impact does clitoral hypertrophy have on your life?

Women with enlarged clitoris often suffer from sexual frigidity because they have difficulty reaching orgasm, and in severe cases, it can lead to family breakdown. At the same time, the harm of clitoral hypertrophy is that it is easily affected by friction from underwear and bicycle seats, and is easily invaded by bacteria, viruses, parasites and other microorganisms, and is prone to bleeding, erosion and infection, causing clitoral pain. Therefore, experts remind that the problem of clitoral hypertrophy should be solved in a timely manner. Experts added that the problem of clitoral hypertrophy can currently be solved clinically through clitoral plastic surgery.
