"According to a new study, there&amp;#039;s a good chance you don&amp;#039;t know where your vagina is. Eve Appeal, a nonprofit that spreads awareness of vaginal cancers, surveyed 1,000 British women aged 26 to 35 and found that only half of them could point out the vagina on a diagram [via The Telegraph].  Older women in the 66 to 75 age bracket knew exactly where the vagina was. Pop quiz: Where&amp;#039;s the vagina in this picture??  That&amp;#039;s one of the images participants were given to indentify the vagina. Here&amp;#039;s the correct answer:  For the record, the opening itself is called the vulva. The bigger issue here is that women aren&amp;#039;t well informed when it comes to what&amp;#039;s going on downstairs. (Oh, and that&amp;#039;s another problem. Women apparently hate using the word vagina, and instead almost always opt for slang like &amp;quot;lady parts&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;downstairs.&amp;quot;) Less than 20 percent of the women polled were familiar with signs of vaginal cancer, which has a 40 percent mortality rate; it&amp;#039;s important women know what to look for so the cancer can be treated as quickly as possible.  &amp;quot;Understanding the symptoms will save lives, which is why we are urging women this Gynecological Cancer Awareness Month to talk more openly about these life-saving issues,&amp;quot; says chairman Helena Morrissey.
