Patient's question:
Symptom Description: I just think it's ugly and have no symptoms. Treatment history and effectiveness: No treatment has been given. What kind of help do you want: Is it like this for others too? I heard from classmates that this can also be plastic surgery.Doctor's answer:
There are many reasons that can cause the vulva to darken, but sexual activity is indeed an important factor. After sexual stimulation, the local capillaries stretch and narrow, and the blood oxygen exchange doesn't return in time, leading to the deposition of hemoglobin, aging, and the gradual centripetal deposition of melanin, resulting in the darkening of the areola and labia.In fact, the color of a woman's vulva is influenced by the accumulation of melanin, and this pigment deposition is also related to female hormones. That is, during childhood, the vulva is not yet developed, so the entire external genitalia are covered by the labia majora, and the skin color of the vulva is the same as that of other parts of the body. After puberty, under the influence of hormones, the vulva of a woman will grow hair, and the labia minora will also protrude more prominently than the labia majora. At this time, the color of the vulva will also begin to darken.
For women who have been married for many years, the darkening of the vulva is due to sexual activity increasing hormones in the body, which causes the vulva to darken. The longer the sexual activity, the darker the color, but this is completely normal.
