pudenda
External reproductive organs
Pudenda is a formal or medical term for the external genitals, especially of a woman.
The singular pudendum appears occasionally but the plural dominates.
The word comes from Latin for "parts to be ashamed of," though modern usage carries no such judgment—it's simply clinical vocabulary: The examination included the pudenda.
