Patient's question:
I have an itchy lower body, and my underwear is always yellow. What's going on? What does a normal vulva look like?Doctor's answer:
Hello, the vagina is a slightly flattened muscular canal with great elasticity, located centrally at the outlet of the small pelvis, serving as a direct muscular canal connecting the internal and external genitalia. It is divided into four parts: anterior, posterior, left, and right fornices. The anterior wall is adjacent to the bladder and urethra, the upper part of the posterior wall is adjacent to the rectouterine pouch, the middle part is closely attached to the rectum, and the lower part is separated from the anus by the perineal body, a fibrous tissue structure. The posterior fornix of the vagina is the main site for the accumulation of semen after intercourse, facilitating the entry of sperm into the uterine cavity. The cervix is approximately 10 centimeters away from the vaginal opening. It is recommended to have a gynecological examination at the hospital, and you won’t need to worry anymore. Wishing you health and happiness!
