Black labia majora

Dark labia is a problem that troubles many women, and it is more common in middle-aged women. However, many parents find that their baby's labia have turned black. If the baby's labia are black, parents should pay attention to cleaning the baby's genitals to avoid genital inflammation. In addition, the baby's nutrition should be strengthened and the baby's immunity should be improved. So, what is the reason for the blackening of girl’s labia?

1. The reason why the vulva of baby girls is black

The mother may notice that the baby's labia minora may become darker in color about 2 months after birth, which is a typical symptom of the baby's response to the mother's estrogen. As your baby grows and metabolizes the hormones themselves, the symptoms will disappear and the color of your baby's labia minora will return. There are some similar symptoms, for example, a baby girl may have vaginal discharge or small breasts, which are normal. Black labia or vaginal bleeding in breastfed babies is a physiological phenomenon caused by the estrogen in the mother's body being transmitted to the baby through breast milk.

2. How to care for the black vulva of baby girls

Mothers should pay more attention when taking care of a baby girl than when taking care of a baby boy. Don't always observe what color your baby's labia is. In particular, please avoid touching with your hands, as baby girls have a short urethra and can develop urinary tract infections. As long as the cleaning is completed normally, you can wait for the baby to recover normally. The infection rate of baby girls is much higher than that of baby boys. In addition, do not stop breastfeeding, because breast milk will provide the baby with a certain amount of hormones. Breast milk is the best natural food for the baby and should not be replaced casually.

To sum up, this is a detailed introduction to the causes and care methods of darkening of girl's labia. I hope it can help everyone. If a girl's labia becomes darker, the situation will only become more serious if it is not treated. Therefore, when parents find that their baby's labia has become darker, they should pay attention to the severity of the darkening and choose symptomatic treatment methods in time to restore the labia tissue to normal and prevent adverse effects on the baby's future life.
