Do you know some little secrets about women’s private parts?

1. “She” is formed four months before birth

The reproductive organs of the embryo will gradually mature and eventually give the baby its own gender. At about 10 weeks of embryonic development, if the DNA indicates that this is a boy, the "little brother" and testicles will gradually take shape. If the baby is a girl, the reproductive organs will grow into a vagina.

2. Not all vaginas have hymens

If you didn't bleed during your first time, it may be because you accidentally broke your hymen - the thin membrane that usually covers the opening of the vagina - which can be damaged by exercise and tampons - or some people are born without a hymen. Conversely, some people have a hymen that is so thick that it has to be surgically removed - so that they can have sex or insert a tampon.

3. “She” is just part of the reproductive organ

Many women regard the vagina as the entirety of the female reproductive organs, which is wrong. Even though the clitoris, vulva, and urethra are within an inch of each other, they are still separate parts of the reproductive system. So, how do we define a woman's vagina? The vagina is a moist, muscular tube that begins in the inner vulva and extends about three inches toward the pelvis to the cervix (the opening of the uterus). The vagina can bring us orgasms, is the place where our "good friend" flows every month, and is the exit for our baby to leave the mother in the future.

4. There are a lot of bacteria in the vagina

Don't be afraid, it is these bacteria that maintain the acidic environment in the vagina and protect us from infection. There are about 15 species of bacteria living in your vagina, acting as defenders against harmful microorganisms and bacteria.

5. She has a taste

A healthy vagina will have slightly different odors, depending on what you eat, your body odor, and where you are in your menstrual cycle. Other sources of odor include sweat, garlic, and semen mixed with secretions.

6. She longs for fresh air

Just like the rest of your body, your vagina needs fresh air. If tight jeans or synthetic underwear make it hard for her to breathe, bacteria will multiply and it can easily cause an infection.

7. She will itch

Dry skin, sweat, and thick clothing can cause you to feel itchy or irritated. However, severe itching that lasts for more than a day or feels like itching coming from inside the vagina is not that simple and may be caused by bacterial infection or other diseases of the reproductive organs.

8. She also needs a health check

You should do a vaginal self-examination every three months. The method is very simple - spread the labia and use a mirror to observe the appearance of the vulva to check for abnormal growths and whether the color of the vulva is normal. Usually our examinations will not cause any major problems, but if you find any suspicious lumps or bags, be sure to see a doctor for professional examination as soon as possible.
