first let me apologize for asking this.. I know you may laugh while reading this but I really want to know more about Vagina.
I heard that most Vaginas has smell...Why this smell appear? and what cause it?? Is that smell bad for woman's health??
How does it feel when you have menstruation?? how about when you have bad smell on it??
I want answers from woman especially if you are a doctor, nurse or have back ground in Medical education....thanks no vaginas do not smell unless something is wrong....they are Ph neutral....also a vagina is just under developed male anatomy with some adjustments....
You need to get over this IDEA of "bad smell" a clean vagina has no smell, or smells slightly sweet, it will have it's own individual smell....BUT any time it smells FISHY or ODOROUS it is sick...and needs attention....too many sex partners can cause disease and sickness, and odor especially....think about many different men all being in the same bathroom, well, if many different men are in your vagina, it will start to stink like a public toilet...and that will affect your health...and reproduction. I have a friend who slept around a lot and she was unable to conceive children because of all of the STD's she was exposed to.....
Source(s) Urogenital System, Embryonic Development
The urogenital systems in both males and females develop from early embryonic urogenital ridges compose of mesodermal cells. Although the sex of the embryo is fixed at birth by its sex chromosomes (XX for females and XY for males), for a considerable period in embryonic development, male and female embryos are anatomically ambisexual and thus share a number of features in common with regard to early development. Ultimately, male and female structures differentiate into the characteristic male and female structures.
Gonads鈥攐varies in females and testes in males鈥攁rise from thickening areas of cells of the urogenital ridge. Initially very much alike in their path of development (the indifferent stage of development), the ultimate development of ovaries and testis is an example of the phenotypic (outward) expression of karyotype or genotype (the actual genes and chromosomes present).
Cells comprising and continuing the germ cell line are diploid cells that give rise to cells that undergo meiosis to form haploid (half the chromosome number) sex cells (i.e., male spermatids and female oocytes). Germ cells are differentiated early in development, possibly during the initial divisions of the zygote--but no later than in the cellular divisions that take place in or near the primitive urogenital ridge. Regardless, although the germ cells come to lie in the gonads, the germ cells are extra-gonadal in origin.
The female clitoris and male penis are derived from the same embryological tissue, the genital tubercle. In males, this tissue also develops into penile corpus spongiosum and corpora cavernosa tissue that when engorged with blood causes penile erection. In females, the clitoris--with smaller amounts of and less developed erectile tissue is capable of a much smaller erectile state.
The embryonic gunernaculum in males develops into the inferior scrotal ligament. In females, these cells ultimately form the ligament of the ovary.
In males, the scrotum and a portion of the penis (crus of the penis) develop from the ambisexual outer genital folds. In females, the outer genital folds ultimately form the labia majora and crus of the clitoris.
The labia minora in females forms from the inner genital folds. In males, the inner genital folds contribute to the development of the penile urethra and corpus spongiosum.
Although rare, in some cases there are abnormalities in the development of the urogenital system that result in varying degrees of development of both male and female organs (hermaphroditism). True hermaphrodite possess both ovary and testis. Pseudohermaphrodites, have either testes or ovaries but develop opposite secondary sexual characteristics (including genitalia). The majority of genetic hermaphrodites are genetically female (i.e., they carry two X chromosomes) and are sterile (incapable of reproducing). you cant feel it when you bleed but the cramps are AWFULL sometimes. but you feel kinda sticky and dirty. ew. sorry... Vaginas do have a kind of "smell," and here's why. Vaginas are highly acidic organs. They have to be to prevent infections from bacteria and yeasts that each of us are exposed to all the time. Our bodies use fluids in order to maintain a low ph (which, as you'll recall, means that something is acidic rather than basic) and this, my friends, does have a characteristic odor.
We can detect all sorts of odors from our bodies. The oil in our hair has an odor. Our skin has a bit of an odor. So do vaginas. The only time this odor is a problem is when a woman has an infection from bacteria or yeasts that can cause a bad, "fishy" odor. Otherwise, the odor isn't overpowering or objectionable and you wouldn't notice it until you got really close to the source. |
