What is labia minora?

The labia minora are two small cutaneous folds 3–4 cm long,situated between the labia majora and extending from the clitoris anteriorly to the fourchette posteriorly.Anteriorly each labium is divided into two portions:the upper division passes above the glans of the clitoris to fuse with the opposite part and forms the preputium clitoridis;the lower division passes under the clitoris,forming the frenulum of the clitoris with its contralateral part.The labia minora are rich in sebaceous glands,connective tissue,and vascular erectile tissue,with a considerable number of sensory nerve endings and receptors.

What’s the location of labia minora?

The Labia Minora is located in the vulva on either side of the female vaginal opening.These continue from the clitoris,spreading downward at an angle as well as backward on both sides of the vulval vestibule.It ends in between the bottom portion of the vulval vestibule and the Labia Majora.However,the length of the Labia Minora may change according to a different individual.The rear end of the Labia Minora is connected through the middle line by a section of skin called fourchette or frenulum Labia Minora.

What role does it play?

First of all,Labia minora plays an important role of protecting the clitoris,vaginal openings,and urethra.Generally,labia minora is closed,which can effectively resist the invasion of external bacteria and prevent the gynecological inflammation.

Besides,labia minora can help to boost the sex life.As there are abundant capillaries and nerve tissue beneath the labia minora.When females are aroused,the labia minora would become congested and swollen,much more larger than usual,which could make your partner feel caress during sex and make him more excited.

From the top,we can see labia minora not only is an important part of the body,but also plays important roles in all aspects.So,we must take good care of it in daily life.Once you find it look abnormal,like too larger,asymmetry,etc.Don’t ignore that and see a doctor as soon as possible.
