Genital

Pertaining to the genitalia.


Pertaining to the organs of reproduction.


Referring to the reproductive organs.


General name for the reproductive organs, especially the external sex organs. In the male these include the penis and the pouch called a scrotum containing two testes. In the female these are generally called the vulva or pudendum and include the clitoris, a small bit of tissue responsive to sexual stimulation, and the opening of the vagina, partly blocked by tissue called the hymen and enclosed by two sets of “lips,” the labia majora and the labia minora. The labia are sometimes joined in newborns, but generally separate without outside intervention. The condition of having underdeveloped genitals is called hypogenitalism.


Pertaining to the reproductive organs of male and female.
