Elongated Labia
The Elongated Labia (pronunciation: e·lon·gat·ed la·bi·a) is a term used in the medical field to describe the condition where the labia minora or the labia majora are longer than usual.
Etymology
The term 'Elongated Labia' is derived from the Latin word 'elongatus' meaning 'extended' and 'labia' meaning 'lips'.
Definition
Elongated Labia refers to the condition where the inner or outer folds of skin surrounding the vagina (known as the labia minora and labia majora respectively) are longer than what is typically observed. This condition can be a natural variation in female genitalia, or it can be the result of practices such as labia stretching.
