Why are my labia a little swollen?

Women have unique reproductive organs, including the vagina, labia majora and labia minora. The labia plays an important protective role in the female body and can prevent pathogens from entering the body. If there are some problems with the labia, bacteria are likely to enter the vagina, and women will suffer from some gynecological inflammation. Therefore, if there is a problem with the labia, it is necessary to seek timely treatment. Next, the editor will tell you why the labia is a little swollen.

The labia majora covers the labia minora, vaginal opening and external urethral opening, preventing the invasion of harmful substances from the outside world and faithfully protecting the safety of the urinary and reproductive systems. The Bartholin's glands (equivalent to the male's bulbourethral glands) are buried deep in the labia majora on both sides of the vaginal opening. The Bartholin's glands continuously secrete mucus to lubricate and clean the vagina, maintaining the "ecological balance" inside the vagina. The labia majora are the most loyal guard of the Bartholin's glands. In this sense, the labia majora not only protects the pelvic organs, but also maintains the health of the whole body.

Swollen labia may be caused by friction or allergies. Please replace dirty underwear with clean ones three to four times a day. Remember to keep the vulva dry and the vagina moist, and stop washing with lotion.
