According to statistics, only a small percentage of women are well aware of their body and anatomy, so you need to correct the situation. For you - scientifically-confirmed facts about the vagina, which every woman should know.
In schools in the anatomy class, a lot of important information about the female reproductive system remains unlighted, which causes a lot of questions. To fill at least some of the gaps, consider the key facts about an important part of the female body - the vagina (vagina).
1. The variable amount of secretions
During the cycle, there are minor changes in the number of vaginal discharge, but abrupt changes in color and smell indicate the occurrence of failures in the body (you need to go to the doctor). Do not worry, if during the ovulation appeared sticky fibrous allocation, as it is considered the norm. Another interesting fact - the vaginal discharge contains the components found in the shark's liver.
2. Average parameters
Studies have shown that the average length of the vagina is about 10 cm, but at the time of intimacy it can stretch about twice.
3. No standards
Each woman's vagina is individual, that is, it has its own special size, shape and color, so there is no need to talk about any norm.
4. Ability to contract
During labor, the vagina increases several times in size, but after a few years it gradually returns to its normal parameters. Doctors through years of research have determined that in many women the difference between the vagina before and after childbirth is minimal.
5. The notorious point G
For the first time, the point G became known in 1950 thanks to the German gynecologist Ernst Grafenberg. He believed that this is an analogue of the prostate gland in men. There is an education on the anterior wall of the vagina at a depth of 2.5-2.7 cm behind the pubic bone and urethra. After a while scientists have proved, what is it not a separate organ, and consolidation of a tissue. At the same time, it has not been established until now whether the pleasure from sex increases the effect on the G point or not.
6. Without feelings
Scientists have proved that the sensitivity of the vagina is so small that not many women can feel the touch of its walls. By the way, it is due to this hygiene tampons have become very popular, because women do not feel them during use. It is worth noting another interesting fact - advertised condoms with tendrils, ribs and other similar additions are completely useless and they do not add any new sensations.
7. Female ejaculate
During sex, when a woman experiences an orgasm, a small amount of fluid can be released from the vagina, which is similar in composition to urine. In addition, studies were performed, and ultrasound showed that every time a woman ejaculates a bladder is emptied.
8. Taking care of yourself
Many are afraid of different infections, but the female genitals have good protection - the vagina can self-clean, and all thanks to the presence of estrogens, which synthesize glycogen and lactic acid. As a result, they create an environment in which the microorganisms that cause infection simply can not survive and multiply.
9. Awesome trouble
There are women who suffer from such a problem as the fall of the vagina. This can happen for various reasons, for example, due to the lowering of the genitals as a result of the operation on them after removal of the uterus. Still there are such reasons: weakening of muscles of a vagina, displacement of organs at an aging and other pathologies which have no connection with external factors. To correct the trouble, surgery is performed.
10. Both girls and boys
Few people know that all embryos until about the fifth week of development have a female sex, that is, they have a vagina, which then either persists, or turns into a male genitalia.
11. Sad Statistics
Doctors say that three out of four women in their lives face such a problem as thrush. The disease occurs due to an increase in the amount of Candida albicans fungus. The most common cause of thrush development is the intake of antibiotics that destroy useful bacteria.
12. Acts as a pain reliever
There are still studies in this topic, but many scientists say that the orgasm that a woman experiences during sexual intercourse, can dull the pain. It is clear that with serious pain, sex will not help to cope, but from migraine and bad mood, this is an excellent remedy. By the way, this is confirmed by many women.
13. Sex for tone
Like any other muscle in the body, the muscles of the vagina can lose weight in the absence of training, and the best prevention is regular sex. During prolonged abstinence, the muscles become thin and may begin to break down. This problem becomes more relevant with age. In the world, even operations to rejuvenate the vagina.
14. Huge power
The vagina consists of muscle tissue, which can be trained, for example, performing Kegel's well-known exercises. Women who regularly develop vaginal muscles even participate in weight lifting competitions with this part of the body. The record, installed at the moment - 14 kg.
15. Unusual smell and "taste"
In women who follow the rules of hygiene and lead a healthy lifestyle, the vagina practically does not smell anything under normal conditions. Thus scientists have proved, that its smell and "taste" depend on the food eaten the day before, for example, fruits make it sweetish.
16. The tenderness itself
In the walls of the vagina there are many vessels and glands that are very susceptible and easily damaged. This information explains the importance of preludes for the fair sex, since with an insufficient amount of lubricant, which is produced in the vagina, there may be unpleasant sensations, scrapes and even tears.
17. Ribbed Surface
The inner surface of the vagina is covered with epithelial strips, which form transverse folds. Thanks to them the body can change the size if necessary. Most of the ribbing is expressed in childbearing age, as the folds help to move the sperm to the uterus.
