To coincide with Gynaecological Cancer Awareness Month, women’s cancer research charity the Eve Appeal has published research showing nearly half of women cannot correctly label the female anatomy on a medical diagram.

The charity’s previous research showed one in five women aged 16-25 couldn’t name a symptom of gynaecological cancers, while 65 per cent of young women had a problem with even saying the words “vagina” or “vulva”.**

Gynaecological cancers have some of the worst outcomes for women, with a mortality rate of 40 per cent.

So, with all that in mind, we present this quiz. The women polled were presented with the following diagrams and asked to label them – our quiz is a lot easier because it has to be multiple choice.
