Why some vaginal lips are closed while some others are open?
Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I do not know if this is a dumb question to ask. But I do not have any adult females in my life to ask comfortably. I am a 19-year-old female, and I wondered why other women had open vaginas, so that you could see their vulva and vagina. My outer lips cover my whole vagina and vulva. I have to physically open my outer lips to see my vulva or vagina. Is this normal?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
A sitting position may cause an opening of the vagina. Those who are used to sex, women with children, and older women will have somewhat loose vaginas, which can easily open while sitting in some positions. In your case, it appears to be normal, but I cannot be sure without viewing it.
