smooth flap deep in vagina?

[twistedpea]

when i'm fingering myself, at a certain deepness i can feel that there's like a smooth flap inside of my vagina... not like a skin flap... its kind of thick? like a tounge. there's also a dimple or something on it. at first i thought there were two holes (like one above one below the flap) but turns out my fingers can literally circle around the flap, so it's not two holes. it's just a... thing. i feel like i could go deeper in but my fingers not long enough for that so i dont really know. it also feels kinda good in a certain spot near it. it doesn't hurt moving anywhere around it. i feel like its kind of similar to the person who posted a month ago about the two holes except i don't really think its the cervix unless the cervix is like... a flap. like i bet if i could fit two fingers down there i could literally pinch it or something.

what is it?? i thought the vaginas supposed to be like one tunnel until u reach the cervix thats like a door... thanks for any help

Hi twistedpea!

About how deep into your vaginal canal do you feel this? Is there any pain or discomfort?
I have a feeling you are likely touching your cervix, but I think taking a look at some more complex diagrams/descriptions of the anatomy of the vaginal canal is probably going to be a good starting place:

Here is one of our more detailed dives into anatomy: With Pleasure: A View of Whole Sexual Anatomy for Every Body
This doctor has some good visualization tools: Anatomy of the Vagina
This advice column: A little penis inside my vagina?
If you want to see some photos of real human cervixes (be prepared: these photos are very up close and might be a bit strange to look at if you aren't used to seeing pictures of parts of our bodies we don't usually see): https://www.beautifulcervix.com/

Ultimately, if anything feels like a concern, I recommend seeing a doctor who can do an internal exam. Even if it is just your cervix, it might be helpful to have an OBGYN walk you through your own internal anatomy.

there’s no pain or discomfort at all and its about little over 2 inches deep or even just over an inch depending on position or time... i chcked some of the images, and i think it might be the cervix. i didn’t think it would be so… easily accessible.

Hey twistedpea,

I'd bet you're probably right about that. If you are still feeling any anxiety about this though, I would recommend making an appointment with your regular GP or a sexual health center where they can just check it out for you and give you more personalized information than we can. Does this sound like something you can do? Anyone over the age of 13 can make an appointment by themselves to be seen by a clinician, or you can ask a parent to make an appointment for you.

From what you have told us, I dont believe there is anything to be worried about as everyone's body is shaped differently, but making an appointment to be seen by someone is always an option to at least check up.
