A woman’s external genital anatomy, the vulva, contains two sets of skin folds – the larger outer folds (labia majora) and smaller inner folds (labia minora). The term “labia hypertrophy” can refer to either enlarged labia majora or labia minora (or both).
In either case, having this condition doesn’t always mean the presence of a medical problem. In fact, most women will never experience any issues due to the size or shape of their labia. That’s because it’s perfectly normal to have some asymmetry in this area and it’s even common for one side of the labia minora to be longer, bigger or thicker than the other.
