A Vulv-What?

Image
  The other day we were playing a game with our friends.  πŸ‘Ύ  It was one of those couple quiz games, and it mentioned a vagina when it was actually the vulva!  πŸ‘  Of course, I had to say something, and said, “Its not really the vagina, it’s actually called the vulva.”  ✨  Our friends suddenly had a puzzled look on their face, and slowly repeated a “vulv-?”  πŸ€” My girl friend then apprehensively said, “Isn’t that in your throat?”  πŸ‘„  I explained to her that the vulva was the external genitalia, and that the vagina was actually like a hallway to our cervix.  πŸ•³  To which her boyfriend chimed in, “What’s the difference? Does it actually matter?”  πŸ₯±  I explained the importance of knowing the correct terms, and everyone just continued playing the game.  πŸ₯΄  It’s been a couple of days since this incident, and I have tried to let it go.  πŸ‘‹πŸ»  I don’t believe he meant to be insensitive, but I would be ...

  Having a disease or condition that effects your vulva can make you feel even more alone!  πŸ₯Ί No one wants to talk about it, and some find it “embarrassing” to talk about!  πŸ™‡πŸ»‍♀️  Many people believe diseases like Lichen Sclerosus aren’t as rare as we think, but due to the embarrassment they feel, many women aren’t going to the doctors for treatment and not talking to others about any concerns to look out for!  πŸ”  It is important to share your story, work closely with your doctor, and encourage others to perform their vulvar self exams. πŸ•΅️‍♀️ It’s just as important as checking our breasts, and checking can save lives!  πŸ’ͺ🏻 So, do not be afraid!  πŸ™…πŸ»‍♀️ You are not alone!!!

You can even store the pictures into a hidden album or photo vault to keep them hidden away. 😎One benefit of taking pictures that I personally like is the fact that I can keep those pictures for years to come.

This consists of the clitoris, labia minora, labia majora, mons pubis, prepuce, perineum, urethral opening, and the OPENING of the vagina. The vagina is actually the hole that a babyπŸ‘Ά would come out of, or a penis would enter into. The vagina πŸ•³ is actually internal like a hallway from the outside that leads into the uterus and cervix. I was neverπŸ™…πŸ»‍♀️ taught the proper terms of my body in school. πŸ‘©‍🏫 My family and friends always called their external genitals their vagina as well‼️ I did not know what a vulva was until I was told I had VIN/Precancer!
