I believe my labia minora might be closed. It's very tightly closed, I can move it from side to side but can't seem to spread them open. I looks like, well, only one minora instead of two. I'm not sure if I should be prying them open a little harder, but I don't want to hurt anything. Is this normal? Is this a virgin thing? I haven't had sex yet, so I think it might play a factor.


I also do not have trouble urinating. I've read a little, and my urine doesn't go sideways but straight down.


And I have a lentil shaped nub that is just below the centre of my vagina. What is that?

How old are you?

I am now 16 years.

You can use Google to show line drawings of female anatamy with all the correct names and terminology for all the parts. And it is something you should know as you are now maturing. And depending on what state and country you live... you might have soon in Health Class which is separated by Gender. At least it was in the school I attended back then.

Just be aware that like faces... they all do not look alike. So do not get self conscious about yours. Many women do not have symmetrical labia. Its fairly common in fact.

Use a mirror and a light to look at yourself. Maybe you have? Or are just feeling around.
You might have a strong hymen covering a large area. Some are thin as a tissue, and some are very thick and tough.
Your clitoris is a 'nub' at the top of your vagina. Where exactly can also vary a lot.
Not sure what a nub would be at the bottom, but it could be a skin 'tag' or harmless growth, or a papilloma virus growth - many things it could be. Might be worth going to a doctor.

I had to be catheterized once in a hospital, and all the nurses complained that my urethra was practically inside my vagina. "Never missed in 20 years" and so on!
Your hymen won't cover your urethra.
