The labia majora are the outer folds of the female external genitalia. Their primary role is to enclose and protect more delicate internal genital structures like the labia minora, clitoris, and vaginal opening. Estrogen production is by ovaries, lubrication by Bartholin's glands, uterine support by ligaments, and menstrual cycle regulation by hormones (ovaries, pituitary gland).
