I am 17 years old and very self conscious. the bit inside my vagina hangs quite a lot, is this because i have masturbated in the past? or is itnormal?

Confusing question: No part of your vagina should "hang out".Perhaps you need a review of your anatomy terms. The labia minora are the inner lips of the tissue surrounding your vaginal opening. These can be tucked in and have minimal appearance or can hang down like elephant ears. They will go through changes in puberty as these tissues respond to hormones. If this is what you mean, it has nothing to do with masturb
