Is it possible to change the color of the labia. Black labia

Frequently asked questions from patients:

"... I have such a problem. The skin of the labia around the edges is black and, one might say, some kind of shabby, not like everyone else .... Is this normal?"

"I'm 20 and I'm a virgin. Although the legs are from the ears and the chest is 3 sizes, but what spoils life is the almost black labia and anus. Giant fear and complex about the first sexual intercourse, so even with this nature punished ... "

"... I am 23 years old, one labia minora is larger than the other, but besides, it is, as it were, bifurcated, i.e. there is some kind of small process, a fold of skin to the middle. It protrudes slightly from the labia minora with black dots ... The skin there is flabby and wrinkled, and brown, I would even say black ... I went to the gynecologist, she said - this is an anatomical feature, due to the fact that I have full legs and in this place the skin is constantly pinched. There is no particular discomfort and pain, but aesthetically it is very ugly ... Can this be corrected with plastic surgery or something else?

WHY DO GIRLS LIPS BLACK?

Blackened labia is your individual feature, because the external genitalia of many women have features: the shape and size, the edges may differ (smooth, fringed). Color can also vary, especially with the onset of sexual activity, when the labia minora turn black to one degree or another. The black color of the labia, as a rule, is due to a genetic predisposition and the influence of female hormones. For example, by the age of 40, estrogen begins to be more actively produced in the female body, which directly affects the change in skin color of the intimate zone, primarily pigmentation. This condition is observed in many women.

If darkening of the skin is observed not only in the genital area, but also in other parts of the body (natural folds - anus, groin, armpits, crease between the neck and the back of the head, elbow and popliteal folds, under the mammary glands in women.), then this the symptom is called "negroid acanthosis", and it is usually combined with endocrine diseases (hypothyroidism or hyperthyroidism, polycystic ovaries, type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, acromegaly, Cushing's disease).

So, the main reasons why the labia and the area between the legs can blacken are as follows.

INTERNAL FACTORS OF INFLUENCE

Excess weight;
Pregnancy period;
fungi, groin infections;
Varicose veins of the inguinal zone;
endocrine diseases;
Diseases of internal organs;
Number of years lived.

POSSIBLE EXTERNAL CAUSES

Incorrect clothing: squeezing, rubbing, embossing while wearing clothes, especially underwear;
Problems with depilation: following skin irritation or possible injury after improper hair removal;
An excess of ultraviolet radiation: excessive exposure to the sun without clothes and appropriate protective equipment is fraught with blackening of the labia and anus;
Taking oral contraceptives;
Toxic substances and drugs.

WHAT REACTION DOES BLACK LABIA CAUSE

In girls, brown and black labia can cause conflicting emotions. Many do not pay attention to this, because it is not accompanied by any unpleasant sensations. Others consider it ugly, they are embarrassed to be naked in front of their young man, in a beauty salon in front of a beautician and even in front of a gynecologist. In addition, there are situations when in showers, changing rooms of fitness clubs and other places, unusual features of an intimate place become the subject of increased attention and discussion among friends or just those around them.

Brown labia, like the black color of their skin, as an individual anatomical feature of an individual woman, does not affect her health and in 90% of cases is not a pathology. If desired, you can do a skin whitening procedure, or, if it is ineffective, a plastic surgery that radically eliminates this problem - plastic surgery of the labia.

WHAT TO DO IF YOU DON'T LIKE BLACK LIPS?

POSSIBLE WAYS OF CORRECTION

1.	The main way to lighten blackened labia is to do a set of procedures for depigmentation of the intimate area in the clinic
2.	If the result of a complex of intimate whitening procedures seemed insufficient to you, you can consider the option of a labioplasty operation to excise the changed skin edges and give the desired shape.
3.	In addition to skin whitening sessions of the labia or surgical correction of dark edges, intimate contouring procedures can be performed. Hyaluronic acid injections can increase the tone, change the shape and size of the external genitalia, narrow the entrance and the vagina itself, enhance sexual sensations by increasing the G-spot and clitoris.

You are waiting for the baby, your body is waiting, both the body and the soul are preparing. Everything changes and changes. Maybe for some it will seem strange, but even during pregnancy they change. By the way, changing their color is the first sign of pregnancy.

Changing the labia is a normal and natural process. Hormones are raging in the body, the hormonal background is changing, and therefore the blood circulation of the pelvic organs is significantly increased, therefore, the labia changes in size - both small and large. They swell, become, as it were, more juicy, elastic, and varicose veins often occur. Veins come out on the lips or even seals appear, however, you shouldn’t worry much about this: after pregnancy, and maybe even before childbirth, everything will return to its place. There is a risk of developing acute varicothrombophlebitis or rupture of altered veins. It will cause bleeding, but this is also not so scary. To help yourself and relieve varicose veins on the lips, walk more, rest in the position of lying on your side, since sitting and standing only increase congestion in the veins and pain. Varicose veins of the labia are also not an indication for caesarean section, as many people think. But we also do not recommend letting it go by itself: be sure to consult with your gynecologist. Almost 30% of pregnant women face varicose veins - this is when they are expecting their first baby - and much more with subsequent ones. As a rule, women suffer, who have a predisposition to this, who suffer from.

Unfortunately, during pregnancy there are not so many means of combating varicose veins. It is treated only with medication. As a rule, phlebotonics (Detralex, Phlebodia) are prescribed, but this is already after the 6th month of pregnancy, when the main vital organs of the baby are formed. But after 36 weeks, it is no longer possible to drink such drugs, since the body begins to prepare for childbirth. At any time, ointments based on horse chestnut are good: “Lioton - gel” or affordable and inexpensive “Heparin ointment”. They have a general strengthening effect on the walls of blood vessels, relieve swelling and swelling, and reduce pain.

The lips become darker in color, often a little bluish and purple. By the way, such color changes can be observed as early as 10-12 days after conception. This is also associated with increased blood supply to the pelvic organs, and this process, in turn, is provided by nature to facilitate delivery. In addition to active blood supply, there is also fetal pressure on the arteries - a growing baby puts weight on them, and, accordingly, impairs blood circulation. It can even cause swelling of the labia, but this is usually not a threat.

Changes in the labia become well felt at the end of the second or third trimester. Often they cause discomfort, itching and sometimes even pain. Choose seamless underwear for yourself, consult a gynecologist - maybe he will prescribe a special ointment for you.

But rashes on the lips no longer indicate anything good. Genital herpes is a serious disease. It poses a threat to the unborn baby, as it affects the information genetically embedded in the child and introduces undesirable changes into it.

Almost 80% of children do not survive pregnant genital herpes, and 85% of the survivors suffer from brain defects, impaired vision and hearing, and physical developmental disabilities. Therefore, as soon as you see any rashes on the labia, go to the doctor without delay: it is better to be safe than to miss the moment.

Why does the skin in the intimate area darken, the labia become brown or bluish? This is not always associated with dangerous diseases, but may be a variation of the norm, like color changes in the genital area and nipples in different phases of the menstrual cycle. Find out about the possible causes of increased pigmentation in intimate areas.

Blue labia may be due to venous congestion. This can happen due to constant squeezing of the perineal area with tight underwear, a sedentary lifestyle, and circulatory disorders.

It is recommended to sleep less often on your side, do not sit in an uncomfortable position for a long time, do not wear tight tight clothes, do gymnastics and be outdoors more often. To exclude other pathologies, a consultation with a doctor is necessary.

The labia in women can darken for a number of reasons, from the banal friction that occurs between the skin and linen when walking, ending with more serious causes (hormonal imbalance, ovarian disease, stomach cancer).

Another reason why the labia may be darker than usual is hormonal disorders. Failure of the hormonal regulation of the body can occur with diseases of the ovaries, with the formation of tumors that themselves can produce hormones.
Why darkening of the skin is accompanied by peeling and rashes? In this case, the cause that caused the appearance of spots in the genital area is most likely associated with fungal skin lesions. Such spots do not go away on their own, a consultation with a dermatologist and adequate treatment with antimycotics is necessary.
Addison's disease - an endocrine disorder in which the adrenal cortex does not produce enough hormones - is also characterized by pigmentation disorders in the intimate area. Chloasma appears not only in the genital area, but also on the nipples, in the armpits and in areas that are exposed to sunlight ("Addison's melasma").

All women are individual, exactly as individual as their intimate places. The color and shape of the labia is the same feature of the body as, for example, hair color or breast size.

The anatomy of the female body can only change for 3 reasons:

1. Puberty The reason for this is exclusively hormonal changes in the body and the active growth of the whole body.
2. Weight gain If fat is deposited in the body, then it does not spare any part of the woman's body, including the labia.
3. Pregnancy

During pregnancy, all tissues of the female body change. There is also the deposition of fat, and the accumulation of fluid, and the deposition of melanin (dark brown or black pigment).

The number of sexual partners can only be judged by more unpleasant factors than the shape and color of the labia. For which ones, our expert will tell:

The number of sexual partners can only be judged by more unpleasant factors than the shape and color of the labia. For which ones, our expert will tell:

“The female body, like any integral system, of course, is subject to various external factors. In this case, these are pathogenic microorganisms (bacteria, fungi, viruses), which, getting into a favorable environment, and the genitals are such, begin to actively multiply.

Unprotected sexual contact is the most common cause of sexually transmitted infections. They are called "sexually transmitted infections" (STIs). It is they who can be called a kind of "marker" of promiscuity in sexual relations. Almost all of them carry a hidden threat to the woman's body. Some directly, some indirectly.

Naturally, these diseases have a rather vivid picture, which manifests itself both on the external genital organs (labia, vaginal vestibule) - redness, itching, growths of warts on the skin (HPV), and on the internal genital organs - discharge, pain, smell, etc. .d., causing serious discomfort to both the woman and her partner.

Summing up, it is worth noting that if such symptoms occur, you cannot self-medicate, but consult a doctor as soon as possible. Delay in this situation may threaten the progression of the disease, up to infertility and operations, and aggravate the situation.”

If you notice that your labia has changed color, then we advise you to first take a pregnancy test, and then, possibly, visit a gynecologist. Because such symptoms are highly likely to indicate that conception occurred in the last menstrual cycle of a woman.

There are hardly many girls who regularly examine the color of their labia, but it is quite possible to notice such a change. Moreover: some couples notice this sign very first, not even suspecting that pregnancy could have occurred.

All in all, it's definitely worth talking about.

Every healthy sexually mature woman regularly matures an egg, ready to potentially become the mother of an unborn child. This happens to everyone at different times, but most often - approximately in the middle of the menstrual cycle every or almost every month. After the release of the egg from the mature follicle, that is, after ovulation, the level of the hormone progesterone that has risen by this moment remains high, creating favorable conditions for the onset and maintenance of pregnancy. This will continue throughout the first trimester of pregnancy, and against the background of such hormonal changes, a pregnant woman can feel and observe a wide variety of signs of pregnancy, many of which sometimes seem unexpected or strange. These symptoms include changes in the labia in the earliest stages.

In particular, both small and large labia in a pregnant woman from the first days can increase in size and change their color. This is due to increased blood circulation in the pelvic organs, which is necessary to fully provide the fetus with oxygen and nutrients that come with the blood. For this reason, the labia of a pregnant woman can swell, increase in size, and swell. Such changes are noticeable from the first weeks, but also often appear only by the second or third trimesters. As the duration of pregnancy increases, the muscle tissues in the body of the expectant mother become more elastic and elastic, and the labia is also among them.

With a tendency to varicose veins and thrombophlebitis in the area of the labia during pregnancy, seals may occur, nodes - growing veins appear. This situation should not be ignored. Although this, as a rule, does not represent, there are still some risks, and therefore, if inflamed areas in the labia area are found, this should definitely be told to the doctor. The same applies to other formations on this organ: rashes, erosions, seals.

In addition to size, the color of the labia often changes during pregnancy. And that shouldn't scare you.

Crimson, dark red labia during pregnancy

It should be noted that the color of the labia is different for all women, and for each of them it can change at different periods of life. This feature is very individual, and can vary in different colors and shades - from beige to black, from pale light to very dark or saturated.

Most all women usually have pink labia. But no matter what color you have, and with the onset of pregnancy, the lips can change their color and shade.

Previously pale or dull red labia after conception often become intensely red, purplish, dark, as if inflamed. Do not worry: such changes, as we have already said, are the absolute norm if, in addition to them, there are no “suspicious” vaginal discharge, itching, burning, and other pathological symptoms.

Also, do not be surprised if only one labia changes color during pregnancy, and the second remains unchanged: this also happens normally.

Blue labia during pregnancy

Blue labia in a pregnant woman can also become with varicose veins, which is observed in about a third of women who become pregnant for the first time and in most of the re-pregnant women. The risk group includes overweight pregnant women and women who are genetically predisposed to this.

Most often, this condition is temporary and harmless: shortly before or shortly after childbirth, it passes on its own. But sometimes the blue labia during pregnancy begin to hurt and bleed, which you need to tell the doctor about. He will prescribe you an anti-inflammatory ointment, and also recommend wearing special compression underwear without seams, not sitting up and not standing in one place for a long time, move more and lie only on your side.

Note also that blue labia can occur even in non-pregnant women due to wearing tight synthetic underwear, aggressive sex, very early onset of sexual activity, and also with age.

Black labia during pregnancy

Sometimes on the forums you can find messages that in women during pregnancy, the labia became very dark, almost black. This frightens and excites some of them, but there is no cause for concern.

The color of the labia during pregnancy can actually not only darken greatly, but really become gray or black. Moreover: approximately 2-3% of fair-skinned women in the world have such a color of the mucous membranes in the perineum as their normal norm.

If, apart from color, nothing else bothers you, then there is no need to worry. If you are still not sure about your pregnancy, then when changing the color of the labia, you should dot the "i": it's time to buy a test.

Specially for -Ekaterina Vlasenko

Why are women's labia blue?

Blue labia may be due to venous congestion. This can happen due to constant squeezing of the perineum with tight underwear, a sedentary lifestyle, and circulatory disorders.

It is recommended to sleep on your side less often, not to sit in an uncomfortable position for a long time, not to wear tight tight clothes, do gymnastics and be outdoors more often. To exclude other pathologies, a consultation with a doctor is necessary.

Swelling and blue color in the intimate area may be a sign of inflammatory processes in the reproductive system. In this case, you need to see a doctor. In addition, similar symptoms, combined with itching and burning of the genital mucosa, appear when you are allergic to the material of underwear or components of hygiene products.

Causes of darkening of the labia minora

The labia in women can darken for a number of reasons, from the banal friction that occurs between the skin and underwear when walking, ending with more serious causes (hormonal imbalance, ovarian disease, stomach cancer).

Darkening of the labia may occur in the first weeks of pregnancy as a reaction of the body to the restructuring of all its systems to support the fetus. For example, during this period, a woman increases the volume of circulating blood and the intensity of blood circulation, which can lead to a change in skin tone in the genital area. This is a completely normal situation, while darkening is called chloasma, they go away on their own and do not cause inconvenience.
Another reason why the labia may be darker than usual is hormonal disorders. Failure of the hormonal regulation of the body can occur with diseases of the ovaries, with the formation of tumors that themselves can produce hormones.
Why darkening of the skin is accompanied by peeling and rashes? In this case, the cause that caused the appearance of spots in the genital area is most likely associated with fungal skin lesions. Such spots do not go away on their own, a consultation with a dermatologist and adequate treatment with antimycotics is necessary.
Addison's disease - an endocrine disorder in which the adrenal cortex does not produce enough hormones - is also characterized by pigmentation disorders in the intimate area. Chloasma appears not only in the genital area, but also on the nipples, in the armpits and in areas that are exposed to sunlight ("Addison's melasma").

How to deal with the darkening of the labia?

If the darkening of the labia is not a symptom of a serious illness or hormonal failure, is not accompanied by rashes, peeling and itching, then it is not necessary to fight it. Most often, the state of the body returns to normal after a while - for example, when the labia darkens due to pregnancy or hormonal failure.

However, if the dark color of the skin in the genital area is unpleasant for you, this can be corrected using a laser whitening procedure in the salon (if the darkening does not affect the mucous membrane) or using folk recipes. Well lighten the skin parsley, sour cream, cucumber juice, white clay. They can be used as part of a mask to combat darkening of the lips at home. After applying therapeutic mixtures with brightening components, it is imperative to use a nourishing cream.

The size and color of the skin of the small and large labia in women varies significantly. Small lips are light pink, skin color, brown, almost red, etc.

The pigmentation of the intimate zone depends only on whether there were southerners or northerners in distant ancestors. The northerners have lighter skin and mucous membranes, the southerners are darker, and their descendants can have both. And it often happens that on one side the pigmentation is greater, on the other it is less. This is fine. The color of the labia minora is usually about the same as the color of the areola at the nipples of your breasts. If the areolas are dark, then the labia and anus will be too, although there are exceptions.

As a rule, the younger the woman, the lighter and pinker her genitals. With the onset of sexual activity, the small genital organs darken. Moreover, according to some observations, the color of the labia minora in brunettes is often dark brown, while in blondes they are usually light, skin-colored or pink. The reason is quite understandable - different skin pigmentation in brunettes and blondes.

The color can be influenced by: age, hormonal levels, the number and duration of sexual intercourse, pregnancy and the number of births, underwear (if we say, presses, cuts, uncomfortable) and some others. (See "Why does the skin between the legs darken?").

By the way, a change in the color of the labia to dark (brownish, bluish, crimson), by the way, is one of the signs of pregnancy. Such manifestations can be observed as early as 10-12 days after conception - they swell, become more juicy, elastic.

I DO NOT LIKE
THE COLOR OF YOUR LABIA?

The appearance of each woman is individual, each is beautiful in its own way, each has its own advantages and disadvantages. But not only external qualities differ. The internal structure is also special. The structure of the vagina of each woman is unique, it (the vagina) has its own color (dark or light, lilac or pinkish), its own shape (correct or slightly flabby), its own elasticity. In this article, we will talk about the sexual characteristics of a woman.

Types of female labia

There are two main types in all women without pathologies in the body - these are large and small. Each has its own function and purpose.

Large labia perform a protective function, close the vagina from the penetration of infections and foreign bodies. They consist of a fold of skin, the color can be very different.

The labia minora wraps around the penis when penetrating the vulva. The normal thickness, according to experts, is about 7 mm. The folds of the small lips begin at the clitoris and end at the vagina.

Classification of the labia majora

The length and thickness is normal.
Length and thickness are asymmetrical.
The labia are underdeveloped.

Classification of the labia minora

Specialists classify the labia minora according to the changes they undergo:

Elongation (stretching).
Protrusion (protrusion of the labia).
Scalloped (changing color and shape).
True hypertrophy of the folds (wrinkles and pigmentation).
Absence of small lips.

Why are changes happening?

All changes in the body occur due to an excess or lack of hormones, trauma, childbirth, and sudden weight loss. These or those types of labia change, they can move into other known or unknown ones.

At risk are young girls under 25 years old, their body is most susceptible to changes.

It is worth remembering that the shape and color of the labia is not prescribed anywhere, that is, they can be completely different, women should not worry and complex because of this. However, if something causes inconvenience in everyday life and during sexual intercourse, you should consult a doctor. All pathologies and changes are corrected surgically.

Changes in the type of labia may also occur due to frequent masturbation, improper underwear or tight clothing, painful intercourse.

Is surgery the only way out?

Although modern medicine is able to help quickly and painlessly with the help of various operations, many women are wary of them. With minor changes, medication treatment will help.

Alternative medicine offers compresses, herbal ointments and creams, massages and various exercises.

How can you prevent change?

In order to prevent operations and medicines, it is better to adhere to certain rules that will preserve such fragile women's health.

Comfortable underwear and comfortable clothes.
Avoidance of stressful situations.
Regular sex and a healthy relationship with a partner.
Sleep 7-8 hours a day.
Sports lifestyle.
Healthy and, most importantly, delicious food.

Finally, we come to the purpose of the article.

Types of labia

Each girl is individual, and the structure of the vagina is unique. But still, despite this, experts distinguish the main types of labia.

Who first identified these types? There is an interesting assumption that the hairdresser of the intimate zone was the first to do this.

5 types of labia:

Horseshoe (Ms. Horseshoe). Small lips are visible, but large lips cover them from above, which protect against the penetration of foreign objects.

Puppet (Barbie). Everything is clear here, small lips under large, neat shape.
Flower (Tulip). Small lips look out from under the large labia, are on the same level.
Pie. Similar to puppet, but more plump or flabby, deformed.
Curtains (Curtain). The small lips are lower than the large ones.

This is what the types of labia look like in the photo:

1. Horseshoe.

2. Puppet.

3. Flower.

4. Pie.

5. Curtains.

Rules for female intimate hygiene

This is an integral part of caring for a woman's body, because proper care is a guarantee of the health of the genitals. Intimate hygiene is directly related to the topic of the article, since ignoring the rules of care can cause a change in the shape of the labia and further medical intervention.

How many times a day and how should you take a shower?

According to experts, washing should be done twice a day - in the morning and in the evening. In the morning, you can wash yourself with ordinary running water, and in the evening with a special intimate gel or soap with a slightly acidic environment, like in the vagina.

During menstruation, you should also wash yourself often, but you should not take a bath.

Wash your hands before touching the vagina to prevent accidental infection. After that, in the direction from front to back, you need to wash the vagina without directing the stream of water forward, since harmful microbes can be introduced from the anus (since the rectum is a source of pathogenic bacteria). Also, do not direct the stream of water inside and douching, so as not to wash out the natural microflora.

About towels and intimate hygiene products

Many women use panty liners to keep their underwear fresh and clean. Such a pad should be changed three to four times a day, since microbes accumulate on the surface, which, if the hygiene product is not replaced in time, penetrate the vagina and reach the cervix.

During menstruation, it is also necessary to change pads or tampons in time, to monitor the cleanliness of underwear and perineum.
