What is the shape of the female vulva?

The female vulva is part of the female reproductive system and consists of several aspects. However, the shape of women's vulva is not always the same. The shape of the vulva varies slightly among different women and at different times. Many people are concerned about the shape of the female vulva. So, what is the shape of the female vulva? Let’s take a closer look at it.

1. Mons pubis. It is the part of the vulva that raises in front of the pubic symphysis, and is composed of skin and a very thick layer of fat. Pubic hair begins to grow during puberty in the form of a triangle with a downward-pointing tip.

2. Labia majora. It is a pair of oblong raised skin folds on both sides of the vulva, closest to the inner side of the thighs. It is connected to the mons pubis in front and the perineum in the back; it stretches downward and backward from the mons pubis. The left and right labia majora in front unite to form the anterior commissure, and the two ends in the back join to form the posterior commissure. The posterior commissure is located in front of the anus, but is not as obvious as the anterior commissure. There is pubic hair outside the labia majora. Subcutaneous tissue contains adipose tissue, elastic fibers and venous plexus, which are prone to hematoma after injury. The labia majora of unmarried women close naturally, covering the vaginal opening and urethral opening. The labia majora of multiparous women spread apart due to the impact of childbirth.

3. Labia minora. It is a pair of mucosal folds on the inner side of the labia majora, with a moist surface. The upper ends of the left and right sides of the labia minora are connected to each other. The skin fold above it is called the clitoral hood, and the skin fold below it is called the clitoral frenulum. The clitoris is located in the middle of them. The lower ends of the labia minora meet at the bottom of the vaginal opening, called the frenulum. There are abundant nerves under the labia minora mucosa, so the sensitivity is keen.

4. Clitoris. Located at the top between the labia minora on both sides, it is a small oblong organ with a round head at the end and the inner end connected to a thin bundle of erectile tissue. Erectile tissue is a kind of spongy tissue with rich venous plexus and nerve endings, so it is sensitive and prone to bleeding after injury. A woman's clitoris is equivalent to the glans of a man's penis.

The above is an introduction to the shape of the female vulva. I think everyone should be clear about it. The shape of the female vulva is mainly composed of these parts. The general organization is basically the same, but the actual shape is slightly different and is not exactly the same. Therefore, don't worry if you find that your vulva is different from others.
