Let’s dive into some common questions and curiosities about your vagina that are perfectly normal. It’s high time we started the conversation—because if we don’t, who will?
The Discharge Dilemma
Growing up in the ’80s, my mom had a very unique way of referring to my vagina as my “secret garden.” Discharge? Not a topic that came up—unless it was about something entirely unrelated. When I first noticed discharge, I thought I might need to move to a deserted island to hide. Dramatic much? But here’s the thing: vaginal discharge is normal! It often indicates that you’re ovulating, especially around your period. So, when you see it, don’t panic; it’s just your body doing its thing. However, if your discharge has a strange odor or causes irritation, it’s best to consult with your gynecologist. You could be dealing with something like a yeast infection or bacterial vaginosis. Trust me, it’s better to talk about it than to suffer in silence.
Embracing Your Labia
Your labia majora and labia minora may not look the same, and that’s completely normal. There’s no “one-size-fits-all” when it comes to labia. Take a moment to appreciate your unique anatomy—invest in a mirror if you’d like! It’s a natural part of being human.
The Sound of Queefing
Ever heard a queef? It’s just air escaping from your vagina, and guess what? It’s totally normal! You can embrace it—queef like the queen you are! And for those lucky enough to experience squirting, congratulations. Female ejaculation is real, and it’s just as valid as anything else. If you’re concerned about messiness during intimacy, remember: it’s not just your responsibility to clean up. Also, if you find yourself needing to pee a little during sex, that’s natural too.
The Aroma of Your Vagina
What should your vagina smell like? The answer: like a vagina! As long as there’s no overpowering or fishy odor, you’re in the clear. If you notice an unpleasant smell, it might be your body signaling that it’s time to see a gynecologist. Don’t ignore it—listen to your body!
The Mystery Unveiled
Your vagina is complex, but understanding it doesn’t have to be as puzzling as the latest reality show. When in doubt, don’t hesitate to chat with your gynecologist. Many women shy away from asking questions, but chances are, your doctor has heard it all before. Make it your mission to ask something they haven’t encountered yet!
