What is the reason for the asymmetry of the labia minora?

Patient's question:

I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried it might affect my fertility, and I also feel extremely cold and afraid of the cold. Could you please explain why one labia minora is larger than the other?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, considering the situation you mentioned, the labia of each woman are not exactly the same. Most women have larger labia majora compared to the labia minora, but there are exceptions. In some individuals, the labia minora may be larger than the labia majora, or the two sets of labia may be of unequal size. These variations are all normal phenomena and do not affect sexual life or fertility.
The occurrence of gynecological diseases not only affects a woman's life but can also lead to the development of gynecological conditions. Therefore, it is best to visit the gynecology department of a hospital for a gynecological examination. After identifying the cause, symptomatic treatment should be administered. In daily life, attention should be paid to dietary regulation, consuming light and easily digestible foods. Spicy, stimulating, and cold foods should be avoided.
