My ladies, here’s something you probably weren’t taught about your uterus 👀🩷

Not every woman has the exact same uterine shape.

Some women have a typical uterus, while others may have an arcuate, septate, bicornuate, unicornuate or didelphys uterus.

And before you see a “different” uterus and start panicking 😭😂 having a different uterine shape does NOT automatically mean something is wrong or that you can’t get pregnant.

Some uterine differences have little or no effect, while others may be associated with things like miscarriage, pregnancy complications or implantation difficulties depending on the specific anatomy.

Your uterus doesn’t have to look exactly like the textbook diagram to be YOUR normal. 🩷

Stay till the end because the last one is probably the one you’ve heard the least about 👀

Save this for your next women’s health conversation and send it to your period sister. 🌸

My ladies, did you know your uterus can sit differently from someone else’s? 👀🩷

Some uteruses tilt forward (anteverted), some tilt backward (retroverted), while others sit more centrally (midline/axial).

And yes, your uterine position can sometimes affect how s*x feels 😭. Some women with a retroverted uterus may find certain angles of deep pe*******on uncomfortable.

But before someone starts calculating the “perfect position” for pregnancy 😂👇🏽

Your uterine position usually does NOT determine whether you can get pregnant, and there’s no proven s*x position that increases implantation or pregnancy chances based on whether your uterus tilts forward or backward.

Your body isn’t “wrong” because your uterus tilts differently. 🩷

Have you ever been told you have a retroverted or tilted uterus? 👀

My ladies, can we PLEASE stop thinking your v***a is supposed to be one specific colour? 😭💕

Pink, brown, dark brown, reddish, purplish… even having different shades on different parts of your v***a can be completely normal.

Your v***a does NOT have to match your thighs, stomach, or the rest of your skin. Hormones, genetics, puberty, pregnancy and friction can all influence pigmentation. 🌸

And please… don’t let those “intimate lightening” ads convince you that your natural v***a colour needs fixing. 😭

There is no “perfect” v***a colour.
Your v***a is allowed to have melanin, my lady. 🤎

Save this for the girl who needs to hear it, and send it to your bestie because we’re unlearning these body myths together. 🫶🏽

“Maybe it’s an infection again…” 😩
So you treat it.
The burning is still there.
You test again, NO INFECTION. 👀

My lady, persistent v***ar burning, stinging, tenderness or pain isn’t always an infection.

Vulvodynia is chronic or recurrent v***ar pain that can happen without an obvious cause. For some women, the pain can be triggered by s*x, inserting a tampon, wiping, sitting for long periods or even wearing tight clothing.

And no, it’s not “all in your head.” Your pain is real. 🫂

There are different ways to manage vulvodynia, including pelvic-floor physiotherapy, medications for nerve-related pain, topical treatments and addressing any underlying conditions.

If you keep treating yourself for “recurrent infections” but your tests are repeatedly negative, please speak with a healthcare professional rather than repeatedly self-treating. 🩷

Have you ever experienced unexplained burning or pain around your v***a?
