Your vagina, just like the rest of your body, experiences several changes as time goes by. Common concerns include dryness, discharge, looseness, and urinary stress incontinence (or urine leakage). All of these can affect the way your intimate area feels, as well as how it functions.
Your vagina cleans itself by producing fluids that cleanse and lubricate the area. It also releases extra fluid when you’re sexually excited to make the intercourse more comfortable. The use of birth control, however, alters the vagina’s hormonal state, negatively affecting estrogen circulation. This can then cause some dryness in the area.
Constant hair removal in the area can cause pigmentation, as well as changes to the skin and its overall appearance. Ingrown hairs, irritation, and darkening are some of the side effects. Careful and proper hair removal can help you avoid these, but repeated hair removal over the years can still cause pigmentation.
Natural delivery can cause vaginal stretching, which will depend on the size of the baby, circumstances of the birth, and other factors. After stretching, the vaginal opening can shrink back, but there are cases where multiple deliveries or having a big baby can make the area less likely to return to how it was before.
Menopause causes your estrogen levels to drop, which then makes the vaginal tissues significantly drier. This can negatively affect sexual intercourse, making it painful or less pleasurable. The lack of estrogen also decreases blood flow in the vagina, causing the tissues to become thinner and less elastic.
Other vaginal changes in menopause include:
A consultation with your healthcare provider can determine the right course of actions for your concerns. If it is, for instance, vaginal dryness, your doctor may recommend reaching for some lube. Kegel exercises may also be recommended to strengthen weakened pelvic floor muscles.
