A TikTok doctor has boldly declared what she believes to be the main function of the vagina.
Dr. Teresa Irwin — a self-described “vaginacologist” who specializes in female pelvic dysfunctions — clocked 567,300 views with the controversial clip that she recently shared on the social media site.
In the viral video — which now appears to be deleted — Irwin appears in blue scrubs as she asks viewers to guess the primary function of a woman’s private part.
The Texas physician goes on to state that most people believe the main function of a vagina is to “have babies.”
“Yes, the vagina serves the purpose to have babies, but we can also have babies through an abdominal incision, otherwise known as a Caesarean section,” she states.
“Another answer I get is to have periods and yes the vagina does serve the function of having periods. But that is not the primary function – what is the primary function?” Irwin teases.
The TikTok doc then revealed her answer, cheekily stating: “Sex!”

Irwin then explained why sex serves as the primary function of the vagina, saying: “Why? Because once you go through menopause you can no longer have periods and you can no longer have babies.”
She then enthusiastically declares: “But what can you continue to have? Sex!”
The doctor’s video thrilled TikTokers, with many female viewers feeling compelled to share secrets from their own sex lives.
