“Blackening of the private parts” makes many female friends panic, anxious, aggrieved, inferior, and even feel ashamed. It is also an important reason why some women want to have private parts plastic surgery and whitening.
So, is dark private parts really related to the number of sex lives? Today, we will seriously discuss this topic.
1. Why are there black and pink in the “private part”? Is it normal?
Of course it works!
The shade of skin tone is mainly determined by genetics, and the color of different parts of the body will vary due to the density of melanocytes in different parts of the body. The color of the private parts, areola and other parts is relatively darker than other parts.
So why do some people look pink?
Under the same conditions,each melanocyte in dark and black skin can produce 600 pigment globules, while light skin produces only 2-12.
In other words, women with naturally fairer skin may have lighter private parts and a higher chance of pink, while those with naturally darker skin may have darker private parts, generally brown or brown. Dark brown [1].
Furthermore, some people associate darkening with “frequent friction,” which is not scientific. The stratum corneum of the skin in the private parts itself is very thin, and it is difficult to produce keratinization only by the physical friction of sexual behavior, and it is almost impossible to make the private parts black.
Two, panic! I found that my private parts turned black, what happened?
There are also some female friends who will shyly find that they seem to be darker than before.
Don’t panic, it’s mainly related to hormones. Estrogen promotes the production of melanin, which makes the private parts appear darker.
You’ll notice darker spots if you’re during puberty (after your sex organs have matured), around your period, or after pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Therefore, even the same person can change the color of their private parts with age or through pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding.
But there is a situation that everyone needs to be vigilant about – if the private parts suddenly turn black for no reason, it is likely to be related to the imbalance of hormone secretion caused by endocrine system diseases, and you also need to be alert to skin lesions [ 2].
At this time, it is recommended to go to the hospital as soon as possible for a regular physical examination and endocrine examination.
Third, let the private parts become white easily? Don’t pay this IQ tax!
On the market, many products claim to make the private parts “pink”. What I want to remind everyone is that the private part is a relatively closed environment, it has its own ecology and pH value.
The working principle of some products on the market is very simple and rude, just using simple dyes to make the private parts “pink”; some claim to reduce melanin pigmentation, but there are more melanin in the private parts, the so-called increase Whitening agents, whitening powders, special lotions, essences, etc. are difficult to produce whitening effects.
These two types of products are not only ineffective, but more importantly, they can easily destroy the ecology of private parts and increase the risk of gynecological inflammation; long-term use may lead to skin lesions and even induce skin cancer.
There is also a way toThe color of the private parts becomes lighter, some short-term effects, but the price is more expensive. You must choose a regular medical institution. It is best to go to a top-three public hospital to find a professional doctor for surgery.
The rise of female genital plastic surgery in China is relatively late. Most women seeking medical treatment only learn about it through the Internet. They are done in private beauty salons, or even in institutions without any medical qualifications. After surgery, complications such as infection, adhesions, scars, and dyspareunia occur from time to time [3].
The last thing I want to say is that private blackness has nothing to do with sexual experience. I also advise girls here not to bother about their private parts for the sake of men, let alone those who stigmatize women. If someone uses the color of your private parts to suppress you, please throw this article in their face.
The correct way to maintain private parts is not to use expensive products, but to maintain a healthy lifestyle, such as staying up late, changing underwear frequently, and paying attention to private parts hygiene.
It is also important to keep the private parts dry and comfortable. People with thick pubic hair can consider a reasonable trim.
