Vagina or vulva as commonly referred by many commonly vary in sizes,shapes and colors.
But what many ladies dont understand is that their vaginal area doesn’t look “normal,” but there really is no normal. The only “normal” out there is what’s normal for you. And unless your normal involves pain and discomfort.
When people mention a “fat vagina,” they’re usually referring to the fleshy area above the labia (mons pubis).its typically home to your pubic hair.
Its primary purpose is to provide cushioning for you and your sex partner so that you don’t crack your pelvic bone when you’re, you know, boning. It also protects from other injury.
The size of your mons pubis depends on your overall body weight and type. People with different body types accumulate fat in different areas, so there really is no average.
The mons pubis is a naturally fatty area. When you gain weight, more fat deposits can gather in this location.
This area may remain pronounced even if you lose a significant amount of weight. Unless the weight is lost in the pelvic area, your mons pubis may still protrude more than before.
The skin may not return to its previous state through targeted weight loss either.
Weight changes affecting the mons pubis can sometimes lead to changes in the outer labia. If the shapes of your outer labia changes, your vulva may look different than it did before.
Also sweating in the area around the vagina is a normal part of the body’s heat regulation. However, excessive sweat may cause discomfort and irritation.
The vagina itself cannot sweat as it does not have any sweat glands. However, the external genitalia around the vagina and the groin area can.
The sweat that occurs around the genitals is not the same as sweat from other parts of the body. Apocrine glands are responsible for sweat production in the groin and under the armpits, whereas eccrine glands produce sweat elsewhere on the body.
Females have a high concentration of apocrine sweat glands around the outside of the vagina on the labia majora.
Excessive genital sweating can lead to yeast or bacterial infections. An individual should see a doctor if they experience any of the following symptoms:
- itching of the vagina or vulva that lasts for several days
- thick white discharge, which can be a sign of a yeast infection
- gray, foul-smelling discharge, which can indicate bacterial vaginosis
