If the labia majora become enlarged and cover the vaginal opening, or if they have many wrinkles or are dark in color, this can cause a loss of self-confidence. In addition, deformation of the labia majora not only affects appearance, but can also cause heath issues such as vaginitis, itchiness, and bad odor, so appropriate treatment is necessary.
