What is a vulva?
The vulva is the area between a female’s legs. It includes the two folds of skin called the labia, the clitoris, and three openings – the urethra, the vagina, and the anus.
(1) The urethra is a small hole at the top of the vulva. This is where females urinate.
(2) The second opening is the vagina, the largest of the three. It’s the place where a man puts his penis during vaginal intercourse, where a woman is fingered or other sex objects are inserted for sexual pleasure. Also, menstrual blood, vaginal discharge and babies come out of the vagina. The vagina is an incredibly elastic muscle that can stretch wide enough to allow a baby to pass through.
(3) The anus is the third opening. It’s located between a girl’s buttocks. It’s where feces leaves the body. Some people enjoy placing a penis or other object into the anus for pleasure.

Unfortunatley, it can be any number of things, but I am not
able to diagnose you online. When you say you can feel it,
I am guessing that you mean it stings are or hurts in some
way? My suggestion would be to see your health care
provider and have them look at it if this continues to be a
problem. If you need to find a clinic near you, check out
