Vulva or Vagina: Knowing Your Terminology

Square

When most women think of the term female rejuvenation, they think that they are changing the appearance of their genitals.  What is not clear is what is what? Vulva or Vagina? Today, we’re going to learn the terminology of each.

Outer Appearance Before and After Votiva Treatment

So when you look at a female, you can only see your vulva.  This is the outer portion of the genital area. The vulva is what others see, and it comprises of the labia minora and majora.  This is what many misinterpret as the “vagina”.

Vaginal Canal • Before And After Aging

The vagina is actually the canal.  So, you can’t really have a “pretty vagina,” per se. It’s more about function and feel. 

So what does female rejuvenation in Chicago, IL change?  It actually changes what you want to change.  If you want your vagina to function better, it can work with tightening, urinary incontinence, lubrication and overall better physiology. This is by working along the pelvic floor as well as the mucosa of the vagina to help it get tighter, stronger and work better.

It can also mean a change to the labia minora and majora.  For some women, they may wish to change their appearance or “reverse” the aging of their vaginas over the past few years.  Changes here can mean shrinking with radiofrequency energy such as with Votiva or even in extreme cases, surgery.

So the good news here is you don’t need to do anything.  If you like the way you look and feel, don’t change it.  However, if you are noticing functional changes or minor appearance changes, there are nice noninvasive steps to improve your vagina AND vulva’s overall health.
