What are the causes of hypertrophy of labia minora?

The size, color and texture of labia vary from woman to woman. There is no 'normal' standard because of genetics. It would be like asking what is the cause for a long nose. However, friction from various activities, both sexual and non sexual can effect the size, color and texture of both the labia majora and labia minora. This is why some women have very small pale labia and others have very large, protruding, heavily textured/wrinkled labia.
