Abstract in brief

  • This study aimed to provide detailed measurements of the external female genitalia in a specific group of healthy white women aged 15-84, as such data is scarce and often inconsistent.
  • Researchers collected data from 657 women at a hospital in Lucerne, measuring features like labia minora, labia majora, and perineum, and noted how these measurements related to age and body mass index.
  • Findings showed that some measurements, like labia minora and perineum length, tend to decrease with age, while larger body mass index was associated with longer labia majora and introitus, helping establish baseline standards for normal vulvar anatomy.

Ignorance of female genital anatomy is so pervasive that in this @BJOGTweets study of normal female genitals, the clitoral glans is repeatedly called a “gland.”

@salspua @biomilkveronica Here is another! Again, it has never been shown that labia minora increase in size with age after puberty. https://t.co/7GsJ9kbQsh
