What does VULVA mean in Scrabble?
noun
medical
The external female genital organs, consisting of the labia, clitoris and the opening of the vagina.
The vulva forms the visible outer part of the female reproductive system, and doctors distinguish it clearly from the vagina, which is the internal passage inside the body. Anatomy textbooks describe the vulva as made up of several folds of skin, the labia majora and labia minora, together with the clitoris and surrounding tissue. Health advice about hygiene, skin conditions and reproductive care regularly refers to the vulva specifically, rather than using vaguer terms. Confusion between vulva and vagina is common in everyday speech, even though the two words describe different structures.
