Title: what is the piece of skin used to form the top of the vaginal opening called?
Post by: DanaDane on June 03, 2018, 06:23:53 PM
This would be right below the urethra..

I googled your title and this is what turned up:


Located between the legs, the vulva covers the opening to the vagina and other reproductive organs located inside the body. The fleshy area located just above the top of the vaginal opening is called the mons pubis. Two pairs of skin flaps called the labia (which means lips) surround the vaginal opening

I  think the word your looking for is cervix.

no.  None of those. 

Below the urethra.  It's the piece of skin which forms the top of the vaginal canal opening.

This is not what I'm asking.

Fourchette? Or it could be frenulum

How did you possibly get cervix from what Dana was asking? The cervix is at the opening of the uterus and is a distance from the vaginal opening, and is certainly not a piece of skin... and it is most definitely not below the urethra.  :laugh:

Dana, I think you mean the hymen?

DanaDane,

      If I understand your question, you're asking what is used to create the top of the vaginal cavity.  Based on my understanding of the generic penile inversion procedure, it is the urethra which is used to form the top of the cavity, sutured to the skin of the penis shaft. 

       Does this answer your question?

I think the OP may have altered the original post before it locked. That is not what I remember responding to but then again, my memory isn't always the best. Editing your own post doesn't leave a log entry however should I touch anybody else's post, it logs all over the place. It makes a moderator very very careful when working with a post they didn't make.

It does leave a log of the edit if someone has already replied, as you can see in kat69's post above.

That one can be removed, the other two are more permanent.

I think you're trying to say Dana edited each of her posts after you had already replied twice (despite there being no log of such), rather than you simply getting your anatomy confused? Haha
