Patient's question:

Doctor's answer:

The upper part of the inner labia contains the urethral orifice, the lower part contains the vaginal orifice, and behind that is normal skin, followed by the anal orifice. The distance between the anal orifice and the vaginal orifice is relatively far, with skin separating them.
Recommendation: If it is not visible, it is best to visit a hospital for a checkup. In some cases, the labia minora may be fused, making the vaginal orifice invisible. This can usually be resolved by separating the fused labia. Of course, apart from many severe congenital anomalies, there is a risk of anorectal malformations. Fortunately, such anomalies occur at a low rate. Therefore, it is advisable to follow up at a specialized hospital.
