Vulva?

Unread post by marla192 »

Hi! I been googling what is our vulva and it saids it is our labia majora (outer lips) and our labia minora (inner lips) and I searched up a diagram of it but I’m still a bit confused. Is it technically the flaps of our vagina? I’m sorry if you don’t understand, I will try my best! Also is it possible to touch our vulva when we wipe after we urine?

Hi Marla,

The Vulva basically refers to the exterior parts of the genitals (in other words, the stuff you can see). Labia are parts of the vulva, the ones that you describe as looking like flaps. So, yes, you can touch your vulva when doing things like wiping after urinating.

We can't say for certain exactly how long sperm will live inside the reproductive tract, only that it's possible for them to stay alive for several days, and possibly for up to a week.

Oh okay, after like a week or five days. Does it just die off and then you’ll have 0 sperm in you?

Hi marla,

Yes that's correct, eventually after the sort of timescales mentioned above there's 0 live sperm cells, out of several millions that started out.
