The word vagina is no longer taboo today. Millennials in particular are not afraid to talk about the things that embarrass others. But what exactly do you know about that spot down under? Here are some facts about the vagina.
1. Vaginal enlargement
When stimulated, your vagina can expand to about twice the size. The vagina is very elastic – let's not forget that it is made for childbirth.
2. Your vulva may be different
If your boyfriend tells you that your vagina looks weird, you better let him go. Every woman's vagina is different, there is no wrong or right shape. Embrace your form.
3. Pubic hair is vital
Women don't have to shave their pubic hair. Pubic hair is there to protect your vagina. If someone thinks it doesn't look right, you have the right to think otherwise.
4. Pelvic prolapse
With a pelvic prolapse, the vagina is inside out and hangs between the legs. This may startle you, but it can be easily remedied. The reasons why this happens are various, such as childbirth, obesity, heavy lifting, menopause, neurological problems, and even chronic coughing.
5. Vaginal wrinkles Like your face, your vagina won't stay young forever. Be prepared for your vagina to wrinkle in your late 40s or older.
6. Vaginal farts
Yes, your vagina can do what you least expect. Vaginal farts are not a sign of disease, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with you. Vaginal farts are painful, but normal and even healthy.
7. Female ejaculation
Women ejaculate too. It is normal. If you've never had an ejaculation, it's normal too. Female ejaculation is a common phenomenon that often occurs in mind-blowing sex.
8. Color change
Vaginal wrinkles are not the most visible signs of aging. Your vagina may change color, but most of the time it's a healthy process. If you notice any vaginal changes, it is best to see your doctor so you know you are healthy.
9. Strong smell
If you have a strong odor associated with discharge, it's not because you're not showering properly. They could potentially be signs of a serious infection, so be sure to get it checked out. If your vaginal health is good, you have nothing to fear. Every woman has a distinctive vaginal odor.
10. Your vagina won't be noticeably different after having a baby
There is actually no statistical difference in the average vaginal size between women who have had babies and women who have not, according to a study published in 1996.
