A member asked:
When i was a child, i used to masturbate with a strong shower faucet on my clitoris. is this the reason why i now have an enlarged labia on one side?

Highly unlikely: While it is possible to elongate the labia, it usually requires intentional and prolonged stretching, a practice performed in some parts of africa. However, it is unlikely to be caused by masturbation and there is no reason to feel embarrassed about it. Labia protruding beyond the labia majora is quite common and not a reason for concern.
