T05-P-12 Embryology and anatomy of the female erectile organs

Abstract

In sexology textbooks, the embryology and the anatomy of the female erectile organs are neglected. A correct knowledge of female sexual anatomy and functioning is very important in sexual education and therapy. Embryological development of the female genital organs Only the body of the uterus and the uterine tubas are formed by the Müllerian ducts; the vagina develops from the urogenital sinus. The female external genital organs develop, as in the male, from the phallus, from the urogenital folds and from the labioscrotal swellings. Anatomy of the female erectile organs Vulva is constituted by the labia majora and the vaginal vestibule, with an erectile apparatus: clitoris, bulbs and corpus spongiosum, labia minora, corpus spongiosum of the female urethra. Corpus spongiosum of the female urethra is present in every woman and the female urethral sensibility has not been well investigated until now. The correct term to indicate the whole female erectile organs should be female penis from embryological and anatomical points of view. The erectile structures are the same in female and in male. The clitoris is only a part of the male penis. The vagina is mainly a reproductive organ; the vaginal orgasm and G-spot are not based on scientific evidence. In sexology textbooks the female genital anatomy should include all the erectile structures responsible for the female orgasm. Every woman has the right to have a sexual health and sexual pleasure: the female orgasm is possible in every woman because it is caused by female erectile organs.
