labium
One of the folds of skin that surround the vulva, the external female genital organ. A distinction is made between the outer (larger) and inner (smaller) labia.
Die Schamlippen sind ein Teil der weiblichen Anatomie und dienen dem Schutz der inneren Geschlechtsorgane.
The labia are part of female anatomy and serve to protect the internal genital organs.
The word is made up of 'die Scham' (the pubic/genital area) and 'die Lippe' (the lip). The word element 'Scham-' is often used in German for body parts in the intimate area, as in 'Schambein' (pubic bone) or 'Schamhaar' (pubic hair).
Der Präfix „Scham-“ hilft, eine Gruppe von anatomischen Begriffen zu erkennen.
The prefix 'Scham-' helps you recognize a group of anatomical terms.
'Schamlippe' is the correct medical and anatomical technical term. It is neutral and not vulgar. It is used in factual contexts, such as at the doctor's office or in biology class.
Im Aufklärungsbuch wurde die Funktion der Schamlippen erklärt.
In the sex education book, the function of the labia was explained.
In anatomy, a distinction is almost always made between the 'inneren Schamlippen' (inner labia) and the 'äußeren Schamlippen' (outer labia). The adjectives 'inner-' and 'äußer-' are fixed partners of the word here.
Die äußeren Schamlippen umschließen die inneren.
The outer labia enclose the inner ones.
vagina
'die Vagina' and 'die Schamlippe' both belong to the female genital area, but they refer to different parts. The vagina is an internal canal. A labium is a fold of skin on the outside of the vulva; there are inner and outer labia. Confusion can easily arise because people often speak imprecisely about this area of the body in everyday life. To be precise: 'Vagina' refers to the inside, while 'Schamlippe' refers to an outer or inner fold of skin of the vulva.
Eine entzündete Schamlippe kann beim Gehen Schmerzen verursachen.
An inflamed labium can cause pain when walking.
Nach der Geburt kontrolliert die Ärztin auch die Vagina.
After the birth, the doctor also examines the vagina.
