The darkening of the vulva may be a normal physiological change caused by hormonal changes in the body, but it is also related to heredity, excessive friction or too frequent sex life, gynecological diseases and other factors.
1. Physiological factors: after puberty, due to the change of hormone levels in the female body, which will cause melanin precipitation, leading to the phenomenon of vulvar blackening.
2. Heredity: some people’s skin is dark itself, so the color of vulva may also be dark.
3. Friction or too frequent sex: when sex is too frequent or clothes are too tight, it will cause excessive friction of the skin at the vulva, which will cause the vulva color to be dark.
4. Gynecological diseases: when suffering from vaginitis, cervicitis and other gynecological diseases, due to repeated inflammation stimulation, it may also lead to darkening of the vulvar skin.
Therefore, it can be left untreated if there is no other adverse reaction. However, if accompanied by vaginal bleeding and other adverse symptoms, we should go to the hospital in time to check and consult, do not blindly use drugs.
