Patient's question:
Is the darkening of the labia related to the frequency of sexual activity?Doctor's answer:
The labia majora may darken with frequent sexual activity, and as one ages, they may also become darker and develop wrinkles. The reason is that girls entering puberty experience involuntary sexual urges, and with repeated activity, the labia gradually darken. This is considered a normal physiological change. Girls who are not sexually active may also have darker labia. It is recommended to pay attention to hygiene, wear loose pants, and ensure the labia area is well-ventilated.
