CAN’T LOCATE VAGINAS!

-

A new survey has revealed that half the young women, aged 26- 35, do not know how to label a vagina on a medical diagram, while 65 per cent have a problem using the words vagina or vulva.

The research conducted by the charity Eve Appeal showed that one in five women aged 16- 26 were unable to name a single correct symptom of any of the five gynecologi­cal cancers, while nearly 40 per cent of them said that they used “lady parts” or “women’s bits” for the term vagina, the Independen­t reported. More than one in 10 women were embarrasse­d to seek help from gynecologi­sts and nearly a third never visited a doctor due to embarrassm­ent.
