Gallery: Feed Your Vagina! Now That We Have Your Attention, Foods Good for Vaginal Health

A quick refresher course. In high school, you probably learned that what you see “down there” is not exactly your vagina. That is actually the labia majora and labia minora. Your vagina is the internal canal that leads up to and connects the uterus. The labia and vulva help to form the entrance into the vagina, then there’s the cervix and then there’s the uterus itself.
