Abstract
The vulva is lined by skin. Posteriorly it is limited by the anus, laterally by the inguinal folds and anteriorly by the mons pubis. The hymen is the medial aspect of the vulva. The vulva comprises the outer hair-bearing labia majora and inner labia minora, the clitoris and the urethral meatus (Figure 26.1). Mucous glands, including Bartholin’s glands, open into the vulva.
