Definition
Enlarged labia minora can make it difficult to maintain proper hygiene in the genital area.
Causes
The folds of enlarged labia can trap moisture and sweat, creating a breeding ground for bacteria and yeast infections.
Solutions
- Gentle Cleansing: Regularly washing the genital area with warm water and a gentle, fragrance-free cleanser is essential.
- Pat Dry Thoroughly: After showering or bathing, ensure the area is completely dry by gently patting with a towel. Avoid rubbing.
- Loose-fitting Cotton Underwear: Wearing loose-fitting, breathable cotton underwear allows for better airflow and moisture control.

If you experience persistent itching, burning, or unusual discharge, consult a doctor to rule out any underlying infections.
