Normal female genital color

The female vulva is full of secrets. As a woman, you probably have never carefully observed and understood it. As a result, many women often neglect its medical care. If women do not take care of their private parts in time, it is easy to cause private part infection, cause various gynecological diseases, and harm women's reproductive health. And because many women don't know their private parts, people always ask what color a woman's vulva is? What is the structure of the female vulva? Next, I will introduce them one by one for your reference.

What color is a woman's vulva?

What color is a woman's vulva? It is understood that the color of a woman's vulva varies at different stages. It is red at first, but the vulva of women who exercise frequently is prone to blackening due to friction. In addition, women who frequently masturbate are very likely to have their vulva turn dark, those who have had vulvar inflammation, and those who have sex are also very likely to have their vulva turn dark. At the same time, often wearing tight pants will cause frequent friction between the pants and the private parts, which can easily make the vulva darken. It is also said that the color of the vulva of mature women gradually darkens from the initial bright red. The following are specific steps for women to check the color of their vulva:

1. The best time to check the color of your vulva is after taking a shower. At this time, you can choose to take a mirror. Then put the bathroom mirror in front of your private parts, so that you can see the full view of your private parts in the bathroom mirror.

2. After seeing the whole picture, at this time, use your fingers to search the entire surface of the private parts. First, you can use your fingers to touch the skin around the private parts to see if there are any abnormal protrusions. If not, then nothing happens.

3. Next, let’s look at the color. For healthy and mature women, the color of the private parts is slightly darker than that of other parts of the body. The older you are, the darker the color. If you notice that your genitals are pale or very red, you need to go to the hospital for examination. It could be gynecological inflammation or a type of diabetes.

What is the structure of the female vulva?

The female genitals include the vulva and vagina, and the exposed part of the male reproductive organs, also known as the private parts. It includes the mons pubis, vestibular bulbs, urethral orifice, labia majora, vaginal orifice, clitoris, vestibular function, labia majora, labia minora, and Bartholin's glands. The following is some practical information about the structure of the female vulva:

1. Mons pubis. It is the private part that protrudes in front of the ischial tuberosity and is composed of skin and a thick layer of fat. Pubic hair begins to grow on the skin during puberty and is distributed in the form of a triangle with a downward-pointing tip.

2. Vestibular bulbs. It is a pair of penile cavernous tissues, also known as the bulbar penis cavernous body, which has the property of being hard. Located on both sides of the vaginal opening. It is connected to the clitoral vein in front and the Bartholin's gland in the back. Its surface is covered by the bulbospongiosus muscle and it is easy to bleed after being injured.

3. Urethra opening. Close to the outer edge of the ischial tuberosity and in the middle of the vaginal opening, there is an irregular oval-shaped small round hole through which urine is discharged. There is a pair of glandular ducts on the posterior wall, called paraurethral glands, which open on the posterior wall of the urethral opening and are often where pathogens lurk.

4. Male pubic hair grows outside the labia majora. The subcutaneous tissue is composed of human fat tissue, collagen fibers and venous plexus, which can easily form abscesses after injury. Of course, the labia majora of single women are close together, covering the vaginal opening and urethral opening. The labia majora of multiparous women separate to both sides due to the impact of childbirth.

5. The vaginal opening is covered by a mucous membrane that is not completely closed. This mucous membrane is called the hymen. When the hymen is broken, there is a hole in the middle, through which menstruation is discharged. The size of the hymen hole and the thickness of the membrane are different for each person. After the hymen is broken, the mucous membrane appears as many round balls, which become the hymen scar.

6. Yindi. Located at the top between the labia minora on both sides, it is a small, long, ring-shaped organ with a round opening at the end and the inner end connected to a thin bundle of hard tissue. The erectile tissue is a kind of cavernous body tissue, which has rich venous plexus and rich peripheral nerves, so it feels sensitive and easy to bleed after being injured. A woman's clitoris is equivalent to the glans of a man's penis.

7. Vestibular function. The diamond-shaped area surrounded by the labia minora on both sides is called the vestibule. The surface is covered with mucous membrane, which is similar to a triangle. The top of the triangle is the clitoris, the bottom is the frenulum of the labia, and the two sides are the labia minora. The urethral opening is at the upper end of the vestibule function. The vaginal opening is below it. The vestibular bulbs and greater Bartholin's glands are also found in this area.

8. Labia majora. It is a pair of long, ring-shaped, 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 synapse, and the two ends at the back gathered to form the posterior synapse, which is located in front of the anus but is not as obvious as the anterior synapse.

9. Labia minora. It is a pair of mucosal wrinkles on the inner side of the labia majora, with a moist surface. The upper and lower branches of the labia minora cooperate with each other. The skin fold above is called the clitoral hood, and the skin fold below is called the clitoral frenulum, and the clitoris is located in the middle of them. The lower part of the labia minora gathers below the vaginal opening in a area called the frenulum. There is a rich nerve distribution under the labia minora mucosa, so it feels sensitive.

10. The Bartholin's gland is also known as the Bartholin's gland. It is located at the bottom of the vagina, behind the labia majora, and is also covered by the bulbospongiosus muscle. There is a glandular duct on each side, as big as a small cowpea. Its gland is very small, about 1.5 to 2 centimeters, opening on the inner side of the lower end of the labia minora. The outer skin of the gland is mostly squamous epithelium, and only at the innermost end of the tube is it composed of a layer of columnar cells. During sexual stimulation, yellow-white mucus is secreted, which plays the role of lubricating the vaginal opening. This gland duct cannot be touched during normal examination.
