Many women wonder why the labia is dark. Indeed, very often women, looking at themselves in the mirror, begin to notice that the skin of the labia is significantly different from the color of the vagina, and this seems very unaesthetic. What is usually associated with such changes?
Physical impact on the labia
The labia can start to darken for many reasons. One of them is physical impact. Very often, a woman does not even notice that she is wearing uncomfortable or too tight underwear, as a result of which dark age spots appear. The skin also receives a lot of microtraumas during shaving.
Some women's legs are positioned in such a way that friction forms between them while walking. Therefore, the skin begins to wear off in the region of the inguinal folds, and dark areas form. In such women, there is a lot of sweating in the groin folds, and this is another reason why the labia becomes dark.
Diseases
Dark labia can be the result of a variety of diseases associated with inflammatory processes. In addition to darkened lips, edema, hyperemia, swelling, discharge of an unpleasant color and odor can be observed,as well as small sores on the lips.
Dark labia can suddenly acquire such a shade if pityriasis versicolor disease is noticed. In this case, the large and small labia begin to itch strongly, and small transparent bubbles will be noticeable on them, which burst over time. If treatment is not started on time, then dark spots can move from intimate areas to the inner surface of the thigh. But not only lichen will indicate similar symptoms. Any fungal disease will have similar symptoms. After the treatment, the fungal cultures that caused the inflammation will disappear, but the pigmentation on the skin may remain.
If the labia began to contrast strongly with the skin on other parts of the body, this indicates the presence of serious diseases.
If the mucosa has acquired a black tint and a velvety surface, then this indicates a risk of stomach cancer. But cancer of the genital organs not only changes the pigmentation of the labia, but also thickens the surface of the skin.
Consequence of intoxication
Dark labia with a slight brown tint may be the result of constant intoxication of the body. Harmful substances can come from food, food, and they can also be inhaled while working in hazardous conditions. Toxic substances also enter the body in the form of drugs.
Dark colored labia during pregnancy
Very often during pregnancy, you may notice that the labia and vagina have acquired a darkish tint. Often pigmentation covers andnipples. Rarely neck and face. Such changes are called chloasma.
Such processes in the body occur due to a change in hormonal levels even in the very first stages of pregnancy. Thus, there is a constant preparation of the body for its new state. In the pelvic organs, blood circulation increases, which means that the load on the vessels located in the genital area also increases. The body responds to such an impact with pigmentation.
In the second and third trimester of pregnancy, the effect on the labia area is significantly increased. You can notice that they become more elastic and softer, as well as more pigmentation appears.
Dark labia may be the result of hormonal contraceptives, as well as other medications containing hormones.
Varicose veins
Often, dark labia minora becomes so due to the appearance of venous congestion. In the first stages, the lips swell a little and change color slightly. And then turn completely blue.
The most common cause of varicose veins is pregnancy or obesity, as well as a genetic predisposition. However, normal weight women are also affected.
