A member asked:

Can docs please explain are big vaginal lips genetic?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably: Are body shape and features are often determine by our genetic makeup, but women have to understand they get two x genes. One x from their mother and one from their father. So, while many gyn things like breast cancer and endometriosis are more likely from your Mom's side, genital size could be from either side or both sides
