growing labia minora?

i am 17 years old and ever since around the age of 8 or 10 my labia minora have seemed to grow, and have now  grown appoximately 5cm long and still seem to be growing. I dont hurt at all down there, there is no sign of redness of wart like growths or anything like that. i only feel uncomfortable sometimes as i may rub on my undies.
lately the skin on my perineum has been growing also and kind of attached to my labia, it seems like all the skin down there just keep growing! its not sore only uncomfortable. the skin has not changed in colour. im worried that my labia should not be increasing so much in size. i have never ever spoken about this, but lately have been really worried it may be something. i have had a few sexual parteners however this problem was already occuring before i ever had sex.
i dont like letting my boyfriend touch or look at me because i am embarressed.
im worried that this may be cancer of some sort, i have researched and looked at all the symptoms of different types of vulvar cancers however, none seem to really fit my description.
im scared to see a doctor because im emarressed i know i shouldnt be but id like to know more about this before i go to a doctor.
please help me

please do not abort, my friend is a doctor and I saw your comment and brought it up with her. She says she has seen a lot of women with the same "problem" as you. She says she wouldn't even call it a problem. Every women is different. It is no different than having bigger breasts than other girls. Be proud of your vagina ;D

DO NOT HAVE AN ABORTION!!! You would be killing a new life! The doctors and nurses are profetionals and it is normal so they will not say anything or even think about it in a negative way

Hi!  I am really self conscious about mine. I just turned15. Mine hang around2inches too.  I was just wondering has a guy ever said anything about it. Do you think if I were to have sex with a boy my age he would flip the **** out? I'm just really scared and I wanna have sex but I don't want them grossed out. I don't want them to freak out. Any advice? Do you think they will care?

Bigger labia is far more appealing  and sexy than small or no labia minors. Just like comparing a 3 inch penis to a six inch penis. The larger sex organs are more preferred .

I have a skin growth on
the wall of my inner
labia. It is long, tiny
and cylindrical and has
the same texture, color
and height as my inner labia. About 2 mm in
width and 1 cm in
height.and at the tip of d skin is red in colour.It does not hurt
or itch, has the same
feeling as my inner
labia.I know its
not STD since I'm a
virgin. Should I get rid of it? Is it dangerous?
