Why is the labia minora asymmetrical?

The female reproductive organs are the same as those of the male ones. Each person's appearance is different, and the structure of the female genitals is particularly complex. Many female friends will find that there is asymmetry on both sides of their labia minora, which makes some female friends feel particularly distressed. In fact, this is also a congenital condition and generally will not have any impact. So, what's the matter with the asymmetry of the labia minora? Let’s take a look at it together.

Labia asymmetry is a type of labia minora hypertrophy. Some are congenital, while others are acquired due to long-term local chronic stimulation or continuous friction, requiring labiaplasty. Labiaplasty is a surgery to achieve the natural curve and beautiful appearance of the labia minora, making the inner surface of the labia minora pink and the top and outer sides brown and yellowish brown, so that there is no discomfort during sexual intercourse and daily life. The shape, color, and size of the labia vary from person to person. The average width of the labia minora of Asians is 5-10mm and the length is 30-60mm. If the width exceeds 10 mm, it can be diagnosed as labia majora. In addition to congenital factors, labia minora are also related to infection, excessive sexual intercourse, masturbation, and endocrine diseases.

There is actually no danger in having labia of different sizes. It is more of a psychological impact on girls: the appearance is not beautiful, which causes psychological barriers, and it affects the patient's life, especially sexual life after marriage. They feel embarrassed in front of their partner, or they worry that their partner will dislike them. Some patients experience obstruction or pain during sexual intercourse. In addition to being very sensitive to sexual stimulation, the labia also protects the urethral opening and vaginal opening adjacent to it.

Through the above introduction, we now know what the asymmetry of the labia minora is. This is also a normal physiological phenomenon, and generally there will be no discomfort. However, if women who love beauty feel that it is not good-looking, they can have plastic surgery in a regular beauty hospital. If the situation is serious, examination and treatment are needed.
