What causes black labia?

The darkening of the labia is generally caused by a variety of factors, including genetic factors, hormonal factors, and inflammatory factors, which can lead to an increase in the amount of melanin in the labia area, causing the labia to darken.

1. Genetic factors: Before a woman gets married or has sex, her labia has already shown signs of blackening. This is mostly caused by genetic factors, that is, genetic changes in the body. There is no need to worry too much about it as it is a normal physiological phenomenon.

2. Hormonal factors: After development, the levels of estrogen and progesterone in women's bodies will change, and may even stimulate the regeneration of hormones, causing changes in skin irritation. However, when there is no lesion in the genitals and the skin is simply darkening, no special treatment is needed.

3. Inflammatory factors: Women will have secretions in their vagina after development, but when the normal flora in the vagina is out of balance, the secretions will increase, which will cause inflammation. The inflammation will irritate the skin, causing the melanocytes on the surface of the skin to gather and increase, resulting in darkening. It is necessary to go to the hospital for a secretion check in time. If necessary, local embolic drug treatment can be used to eliminate the inflammation. After the inflammation is eliminated, the friction on the skin can be reduced to avoid continued darkening of the skin.
