"everyone aged 25-64 with a cervix"

British women know very little about their female anatomy, according to this survey by a cancer charity.

I can't actually see the article but that's proving a point, isn't it?

re is an extract from the article:

"Almost half of women in Britain do not know the basic anatomy of their vaginas, according to new research.

Of 1,000 women surveyed, only half could locate the vagina on medical diagrams of the female reproductive organs, and less than a third could correctly label six different parts.

One in seven women were unable to name a single one of the five gynaecological cancers, which are ovarian, womb, cervical, vaginal and vulval, despite 21,000 new cases being diagnosed in the UK each year, according to gynaecological cancer charity the Eve Appeal."

Wow, that's shocking.

Really?! That’s incredible! Surely that’s one of the lessons in school that everyone pays attention in! And how do they manage tampons if they don’t know where to stick them?

Presumably they do know where to stick the tampons, but not what the relevant bits are called.
Hence my doubts that CRUK's 'cervix' advert will reach a wide audience.

Life gets more complicated by the day
