| | Vulva - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The external genital organs of the female are collectively known as the vulva. | | | (In common speech, the term "vagina" is often used improperly to refer to the vulva or female genitals generally, even though strictly speaking the vagina is a specific internal structure and the vulva is the exterior genitalia only. | | | To prevent this, doctors may perform an Episiotomy, surgically cutting the perineum, which some believe to be more sterile. |

| | Radiation therapy is sometimes used in the treatment of cancer of the vulva. | | | Radiation therapy may be given to the region of the vulva itself or to the groins or both of these areas. | | | As cancer of the vulva is a slow growing cancer and does not spread quickly to other parts of the body, for most women surgery will be the only treatment needed. |

| | Vulvar Cancer |
| | The chance of recovery (prognosis) and choice of treatment depend on the stage of the cancer (whether it is just in the vulva or has spread to other places) and the patient's general state of health. | | | Women who have constant itching and changes in the color and the way the vulva looks are at a high risk to get cancer of the vulva. | | | The vagina is the passage between the uterus (the hollow, pear-shaped organ where a baby grows) and the outside of the body. |

| | The frenum of the vulva and the frenum of the penis are not the same thing, "frenum" is simply the medical name for this type of anatomical structure. | | | We have made the vagina the center of female sexuality when in fact, for the majority of women, their vulva is. Since most sex education classes are more about reproduction than sex, the anatomy of the female genitals is often times not taught in school. | | | The reason so many people have no idea as to the anatomy of the female genitals is that we as a society have reduced women's sexual anatomy down to nothing more than their vagina. |
