What does a normal vaginal opening look like?

Due to the traditional closed-minded thinking of the Chinese people, they often keep silent about sex and reproductive organs. Whether male or female, many people do not know what normal sexual organs should look like, and instead think that their own sexual organs are ugly. The vaginal part of a woman is often divided into the labia majora and labia minora, and the characteristics of the vagina vary from woman to woman. Next, let us understand what a normal vaginal opening looks like.

The vaginal opening is the exit of the vagina to the outside. It is the place where menstrual blood and vaginal secretions are discharged, and it is also the place where the fetal head is exposed during delivery.

First: Generally speaking, the vaginal wall has a fibrous tissue outer membrane in addition to the vaginal epithelium and muscles. The vaginal epithelium is pink, with a stratified squamous epithelium on the surface but no keratinized layer. The vaginal wall epithelium has many folds and a muscle layer distributed in a rhombus-like pattern. These folds will be fully stretched during sexual intercourse and childbirth.

Second: The lower part of the vagina is narrower, and the lower end opens to the vaginal vestibule with the vaginal opening. In virgins, there is a hymen around the vaginal opening, which may be ring-shaped.

Third: Another thing is that under normal circumstances, the vaginal opening should be closed. But the labia are not necessarily in a closed state. These red particles on the wall of the vaginal opening are just the openings of the glandular ducts, and there should be no abnormal secretions, odor, itching and other symptoms.

The appearance of the vaginal opening varies from person to person. If you feel something is wrong, please go to your local gynecological hospital for examination and consultation with a doctor.
