Function of the Vulva

What is the Function of the Vulva?

The vulva has three main functions: a. It protects women's sexual organs and the urinary opening from trauma and infection.

b. It is vital for women's sexual response. The clitoris is the main organ of sexual arousal and orgasm in most women.

c. The vulva and the perineum stretch to accommodate childbirth.
