Changing the landscape for women with Gynaecological and Sexual Health Conditions

Vulva is to vagina, as penis is to testicles…so why don’t we call it what it is???

by 171 Comments

gain-logoI presented at Vulval Awareness Day on Saturday. Em from 92.9 hosted and said she’s realised she’s been telling her daughters the incorrect terminology; vagina instead of vulva for the external genitalia. She said she was blown away by the information. (If only there were a thousand women there!)

Following that she went on air and spoke about the issue so that women can know the difference between the two.

Em told me the radio station had complaints about the use of the world ‘vulva’. Note: they use the word ‘penis’ all the time. Still a long way to go…

    However, what about this? suppose you typed a catchier title?
    I am not suggesting your content is not good., however suppose you added a title that grabbed people’s attention? I mean Vulva is to vagina,
    as penis is to testicles…so why don’t we call
    it what it is??? is a little vanilla. You could glance at Yahoo’s home page and
    watch how they create news titles to grab people to click.
    You might add a video or a picture or two to get people interested
    about what you’ve written. Just my opinion, it
    could make your posts a little livelier.
