Why is the skin of the genitals dark?

Female friends are very concerned about their private parts, but sometimes some situations can make them feel unhappy. Many women find that their genitals are getting darker, but some girls who have no sexual experience also experience this phenomenon, which makes them very worried. So, what causes the dark skin of the genitals? For an analysis of the causes of this situation, please see the detailed introduction below.

The private parts that we usually talk about are actually the labia minora. The labia minora are located on the inner side of the labia majora, extending from the clitoris to the frenulum. They are composed of connective tissue rich in blood vessels, so they appear pink on the surface and are covered with stratified squamous epithelial tissue. The front part of the labia minora is divided into two parts, the inner and outer parts. The outer parts on both sides combine to form the foreskin of the clitoris, while the outer parts form the frenulum of the clitoris.

The labia majora are two arc-shaped skin folds made of fat that can be seen from the outside. In fact, there are many pubic hairs, sweat glands and sebaceous glands on the skin on the outer side, while the inner side is smooth and hairless, which can surround and protect other external genitalia. The structure of the private parts is very complex and sensitive, and some incorrect maintenance concepts can cause harm to the private parts. For example, the labia is an environment with a pH of about 4. There are many lactobacilli in the vagina that maintain a healthy vaginal environment. Under normal circumstances, the number of other bacteria is very small. However, if there is external interference (especially the use of detergents) or self-vaginal washing, bacterial proliferation and infection may occur.

In fact, the darkening of female labia usually does not exclude the following reasons:

1. Genetic reasons.

2. Caused by too frequent sexual life.

3. Normal pigmentation. In other words, sexual intercourse causes the labia to darken, including the vaginal opening and the inner and outer labia. During sexual intercourse, the labia are 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 in the sexual stimulation hormone will also make the labia turn dark.

What causes dark skin on genitals? There are many reasons that lead to the darkening of female genitals. Of course, sexual life is a common reason, but it is not the only reason. Therefore, the view that women have other opinions if their genitals become darker is very incorrect. The white and black color of the genitals is also a normal phenomenon. Don’t worry too much about it, but you need to pay attention to personal hygiene.
