That's what at least my friend group calls it.
Flicking the bean is just wrong.
Please don't flick anyone's clit.
Some procedures are cosmetic, but many are medically necessary.
So conditions like Meyer-Rokintonsky-Kutzner-Hauser, which is M-R-K-H.
I know it's a mouthful.
It's a syndrome that exists and it causes what's called vaginal absence.
where the vagina and uterus, they don't fully form.
So instead of a vaginal opening, there's just like a small dimple.
And there's also severe vaginal stenosis, where the canal is too narrow or scarred.
So people who've had trauma or cancer or really complicated births, they can suffer from these.
And for them, surgeries like vaginoplasty are about function and pain relief, not aesthetics.
And some people are born with these congenital conditions like MRKH.
And surgeons may have to construct a new vaginal canal completely from scratch.
That's called a neovaginoplasty.
And that can involve skin grafts and dilators to prevent the canal from closing again.
Yeah, because it is.
But for people who need it, it can mean a normal pain-free life.
Same with things like a hymen that's too thick or rigid.
