Small vigina

The vagina is a flexible tube that joins the uterus to the vulva. Vaginas vary among individuals in color, size, and shape. Getting to know what the inside of a vagina looks like and what is normal for each individual can help people feel more familiar with their body. It can also help with identifying abnormal changes. Here, we look at the anatomy of the vagina and how to do a self-exam. We also discuss symptoms that can indicate a health issue with the vagina and explain when to see a doctor.

That may be because, as with many things related to the vagina, much is misunderstood or left up to myth and urban legend. The average vaginal canal is 3 to 6 inches long, or about the length of your hand. For example, if you become sexually aroused, your vaginal canal grows longer. This allows your cervix and uterus to lift up and away from the canal so that penetration will be more comfortable. The vaginal canal undergoes many changes, and no two are same. All of this is normal.
