Female genital anatomy

Female genitals, including female internal genitalia and female reproductive organs. The female reproductive organ refers to the exposed part of the male reproductive organ, also known as the private parts. Including the mons pubis, labia majora, labia minora, clitoris, vestibular function, Bartholin's glands, vestibular bulbs, urethral orifice, vulva and ruptured hymen. Let’s learn about the relevant professional knowledge about female genitals below.

The female internal reproductive system consists of the location of the prostate (uterus and ovaries), the reproductive ducts (bilateral fallopian tubes, uterus and vagina). The uterus is the place where the fetus is created. The sperm and egg combine here, and the embryo implants and gradually develops into a perfect fetus. After full term, the uterus contracts and the fetus is delivered. The uterus and ovaries are women's sex hormone organs. They contain many eggs, which can produce and release oocytes, secrete estrogen, and maintain women's unique physiological functions and secondary sexual characteristics. After menopause, the uterus and ovaries gradually shrink.

The clitoris is a hard structure, homologous to the male genitalia, located just below and behind the labia majora. There are two corpora cavernosa inside the clitoris. The corpus cavernosum of the clitoris penis can be divided into three parts: the clitoral crus, the clitoral body and the clitoral glans. The clitoral crus is cylindrical, adhered to the sciatic nerve branch and the inferior phalangeal branch, and covered with the sciatic cavernous muscle. Around the outer edge of the ischial tuberosity, the two clitoral crus connect to form the clitoral body. There is an indetailed corpus cavernosum septum (also known as the pectinate septum) between the two clitoral bodies to separate them. The clitoral body folds forward and downward, and its mineral end is the glans clitoridis. The glans clitoridis is a small ring-shaped nodule with a diameter of 6 to 8 mm and is surrounded by the clitoral hood. Smegma often appears in the clitoral groove between the glans clitoridis and the clitoral hood. The lower part of the clitoral glans is connected to the labia minora by the frenulum. The outer part of the clitoral cavernous body is covered with a folded membrane, and the outer part of the tunica albuginea is covered with the clitoral muscle fascia. There are two connective tissue cords, one superficial and one deep, between the clitoral body and the ischial tuberosity. The superficial cord is the clitoral tendon, and the deep cord is called the suspensory tendon of the clitoral. The corpus cavernosum of the clitoris can also swell and become hard. The peripheral nerves of the glans clitoris are rich and colorful, with high sensitivity, which can easily cause hardness due to excessive tension. It is an important structure for sexual sensation.

Vulva refers to a woman's external sexual organ

The mons pubis is the soft fleshy tissue under the male pubic hair that protects the female internal reproductive organs.

The clitoral hood serves to protect the clitoris and is formed by the junction of the upper edges of the two labia minora.

The labia majora are soft and rich in skin tissue, including glands that produce oil and a small amount of pubic hair. They are a pair of long, circular, raised skin folds on both sides of the private parts, close 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, with the left and right labia majora united in front to form the anterior synovia and the two ends at the back joining to form the posterior synovia. The posterior synovia is located in front of the anus, but is not as obvious as the anterior synovia. Male pubic hair grows outside the labia majora. The subcutaneous tissue is composed of human adipose tissue, collagen fibers and venous plexus, which can form abscesses after injury. Of course, the labia majora of single women are close together, covering the vulva and urethra. The labia majora of a primipara will separate to the sides due to the impact of childbirth.
