Vasocongestion is the increased blood flow to the genital area during sexual arousal, causing swelling and engorgement of the labia minora, which results in the opening up of the inner lips. Anorgasmia refers to the inability to achieve orgasm. Detumescence is the process of returning to a flaccid state after sexual arousal. Vasoconstriction is the narrowing of blood vessels, which would not cause the opening up of the labia minora.
