The alarming figures were revealed by leading gynaecological charity The Eve Appeal, who also revealed women are better at identifying the male anatomy – with six out of ten able to identify the foreskin, penis and testes.Just 35 per cent could correctly label the female anatomy, with two thirds unable to identify the vulva and 48 per cent the cervix or the vagina. The charity are now urging women to get to know their bodies better as it could save their lives.A shocking 21 women in the UK die every day from vulval, vaginal, cervical, womb or ovarian cancer but many women are still unaware of the risks.hey need to be able to talk openly about periods, irregular bleeding and any changes that they notice to their bodies. That is why, at The Eve Appeal, we’re determined to change this by asking women across the UK to get to know their bodies this September and beyond.”And the charity are calling on women to break the taboo and start talking about their bodies as they gear up for Gynaecological Cancer Awareness Month.
