WATCH: Ask The Doctor with Madge the Vag

Can you have extra skin in your vagina? First things first. All vaginas are beautiful, like a flower. And yes, they can be different sizes and colors and they can even have small tentacles. Wow, vaginas really are really special.

Can you give your vagina a facial? Dr. Hanna wants to remind you that your vagina is a self-cleaning oven. Dr. Hanna goes on to say “No. No, you shouldn’t (give your vagina a facial). The skin in the vagina and definitely in the labia and the vulva are sensitive and in terms of harsh chemicals, cleansers, even different temperatures can affect the health of the skin and the vagina and the vulva. So in general, the vagina is a self cleaning oven. It should be left alone to do its thing.” She suggests using warm soapy water to clean the vulva and the vagina. Anyone ready for a shower?

Can women develop PCOS after having kids? If you’ve ever wondered if you can develop PCOS or Polycystic Ovary Syndrome after you have kids, Dr. Hanna believes that it is highly unlikely because PCOS usually prevents you from getting pregnant in the first place. “Can the PCOS condition return after having the baby, it’s still possible. So, they can have continued problems with ovulation and cycles” she says.

And the biggest question I get asked: “Can a public toilet seat give you an STD?” Dr. Hanna finally puts the question to rest. ” No, nothing can live there and then be transmitted to you when you use the toilet.” Send in your own question to madge@somespider.com and you can get your questions answered.
