What does a normal vulva look like?

As we all know, due to some genetic or environmental factors, many babies are born with deformities. Some conditions can be treated with surgery, but others can only accompany you for a lifetime. Generally speaking, a baby girl's private parts will not be deformed, but if parents find that their baby's vulva seems to be abnormal, they can compare it with the appearance of a normal vulva, or consult a doctor. So, what does a normal vulva look like?

People are usually embarrassed to talk about their genitals, so they call their external genitalia "lower body". Here, women call washing the vulva "using water", and washing the vulva of little girls "washing the buttocks", and so on. Anyway, I'm embarrassed to mention the vulva. If women have problems with their vulva, many of them are too embarrassed to see a doctor.

In fact, as a woman, you should always pay attention to your body, including the health of your external genitalia. Therefore, you may wish to check your vulva regularly. The methods for women to self-examine their vulva can be summarized in three words: "look, smell, and touch."

see

You can use a small mirror, place it under the vulva, move the mirror back and forth, left and right, and use the help of the mirror to observe your vulva. In addition, some clues can be found by observing vaginal secretions, such as the color, clarity, and thickness of leucorrhea and menstrual blood. Normal leucorrhea is a thin liquid of clear white color, normal menstrual blood is bright red or light red, and some people may have a small amount of blood clots.

smell

Use your nose to smell the odor of secretions, menstrual blood, or vulva. The normal smell is generally a light fishy smell, sweaty sour smell or no smell. If there is a fishy, ​​rancid, or peculiar smell, there may be a problem.

touch

Wash your hands first, and use the "pads" (commonly known as "finger pads") of your index and middle fingers to press the vulva starting from the "mons pubis" area, in an order from top to bottom, until the anus. When you touch the vulva normally, it should feel smooth and soft. If you don't press hard, you won't feel any pain. Of course, under normal circumstances, you shouldn't feel any small nodules or lumps. Otherwise, you may be sick.
