No, it is not. There are other infections that can cause UTI symptoms with swollen labia. See your health care provider ASAP for an accurate diagnosis.
Labia minora is the plural form of labia minus and labia majora is the plural form of labia majus.
They don't close permanently. They are supposed to protect the entrance to the vaginal canal. When she's older and get sexually aroused, they will get swollen and part a bit.
long labia, or just labia
answerthe labia majora My answer------CORRECTION: outer lips are labia majora, inner lips are labia minora. They didn't answer question of what the "mass" was.
No. I believe that you are describing the Labia Majora. The Labia Minora are the inner labia or, lips. Majora, the outer, protective, larger or, major labia, or lips.
It's when a woman is "turned on" that it becomes enlarged. More blood flow to the area causes the swelling. Arousal can enlarge a woman's inner AND outer (more common) labia. There is more. However, the questioner didn't ask why labia are enlarged during sex. Labia will get larger as a girl goes through puberty. A girl will appear to have no labia, or exceptionally small labia until puberty. Depending on genetics and nationality, women's inner labia have been measured at 1 inch, outer labia have been measured to be as long as three inches, unaroused. Also, it is accepted practice in many cultures for women to stretch their labia by attaching weights. This practice is becoming more common in western society. Devices are sold on the web for stretching labia. Oral sex can elongate labia, too, if the person sucks and stretches the labia regularly. In the U.S. a small number of women have their labia surgically reduced in size, but recent evidence suggests that more women and their partners prefer longer labia because of the sexual stimulation provided to the male and female. Some believe this is all part of an increased focus on females being more interested in sexual gratification during sex , i.e.; over 50% of women 40% of men from 18 to 45 report shaving all or most of their pubic hair to enhance sexual arousal, improved cleanliness and because of how bare genitals can enhance fore play and arousal..
The Latin definition of Labia is lip.
No they can not. Unless they are hermaphrodites, but your average man should not have labia.
'Labia' is the latin name for lips.
The only time women would be missing one of their labia is if they have had it surgically removed. All cis-women have two inner labia and two outer labia.
The labia majora in females correspond to the scrotum in males. They are both external structures that protect and support the internal reproductive organs.
