The vulva refers to the external genital structures, including the labia, clitoris, urethral opening, and vaginal entrance, while the vagina is the internal muscular canal connecting the vulva to the cervix. Understanding this difference can make it easier to understand how the body functions and how to care for it prop&#8230;<strong>Continue Reading<\/strong><!--nextpage--><\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The vagina is a flexible muscular canal that serves several important functions. It provides a passage for menstrual blood, receives sperm during intercourse, and acts as the birth canal during delivery. Its walls contain folds, muscle, and elastic tissue that allow it to expand when necessary while normally remaining collapsed against one another when relaxed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The vagina also changes throughout different stages of life. Hormonal changes during the menstrual cycle can affect discharge and vaginal tissue, while pregnancy increases blood flow and prepares the tissues for childbirth. After menopause, lower estrogen levels may cause the vaginal walls to become thinner and drier, sometimes leading to irritation or discomfort. These changes are part of the body&#8217;s natural response to hormones and aging.<\/p>\n<p>Many common beliefs about vaginal health are misleading. Vaginas naturally vary in size, shape, and elasticity, and sexual activity alone does not determine how \u201ctight\u201d the vagina is; pelvic-floor muscle tone is an important factor. Knowing what is normal for your own body can help you recognize unusual changes, better understand reproductive health, and seek medical advice when symptoms such as persistent pain, abnormal discharge, bleeding, or irritation occur.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The female reproductive system is often misunderstood, especially when people use the words \u201cvulva\u201d and \u201cvagina\u201d as though they mean the same\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":44090,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-44089","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.2 -
