Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? Why do women's private parts turn black?Doctor's answer:
The darkening of the female labia is usually not ruled out for the following reasons:1. Genetic factors.
2. Caused by overly frequent sexual activity.
3. Normal pigmentation.
That is to say, sexual activity can lead to darkening of the labia, including the vaginal opening and both inner and outer labia. During intercourse, the labia are repeatedly exposed to external friction and stimulation, resulting in increased pigmentation in the area. Over time, the color will gradually darken, which is a normal physiological phenomenon. Additionally, sexual stimulation hormones can trigger melanin production, causing the labia to develop a dark hue.
