ABSTRACT

Many women are uncertain about their genital anatomy and may present complaining of vaginal itching or simply itching ‘‘down there.’’ The vulva comprises the entire external genitalia from the mons pubis anteriorly to the anus posteriorly and laterally to the genito-crural folds. Included in this area are the labia majora, labia minora, clitoris, urethral meatus, vestibule, posterior fourchette, hymen, and the Bartholin’s, Skene’s, and minor vestibular glands and the vestibular bulbs.
