The inner lips are called the labia minora. In regards to the 3 holes, the largest whole is the vagina, the passageway that leads to the uterus where a baby grows when a woman is pregnant.
The hole above the vagina is the urethra that leads to the bladder. Urine passes from the bladder through the urethra to the outside of the body. The hole below the vagina is the anus where your bowel movements come from. If in doubt, see your gynecologist. Usually, what you think are clots are just pieces of uterine lining. Clots are just nature's way of keeping you from bleeding too much. Blood is supposed to clot. It's when the clots are accompanied by heavy bleeding that we start to worry.
Lots of vaginas need help lubing up during sex, especially as you get older. Vaginas stretch out when you have babies vaginally. Pelvic floor exercises formerly called kegel exercises that contract the muscles of the vagina really do help.
To do them, practice stopping the stream of urine when you pee. There—that's the muscle! Now contract and relax it 10 X for three or more sets several times per day. Many times, it may be a little bit of both. But don't stress out about peeing on yourself. Put a towel under you and surrender to the experience. Sex shouldn't hurt, but it does for many women. If you're one of those women, see your doctor.

Sanaz Majd, MD , contributed to a version of this article, which was updated on October 18, The team distributed anonymous questionnaires to women and 20 men attending general outpatient or urogynaecology clinics at a Manchester teaching hospital. They were asked how many holes women have down below in their private parts , and to name them. Fewer than half identified the correct number. They seem to think that the urethra and the vagina are the same thing.
Participants were also given a diagram of the area, and asked to label as many structures as they could, using their own words. There was also confusion between the clitoris and the urethra. Women were more likely to label the vagina and anus correctly than men, but there was no difference for the other structures.
