It is a natural process that cannot be stopped. With age, practically everything changes – the face, hands, but also … the vagina. How does age affect its appearance and functioning?
How is the aging process of the vagina? It looks different for every woman
it consists primarily of muscles and stretchable membranes that are responsible for efficiency, flexibility and hydration, and with the passage of time they can weaken. All because of smaller amounts and elastin, which after the age of 25 begin to disappear from our body.
The aging process of the vagina is different. Genetic conditions, difficult births that burden the body or low sexual activity have a large impact. Most often, changes are noticed during menopause, which results in a significant decrease in hormones – estrogens.
What are the effects of vaginal aging? First of all, less hydration
With age, the pH of the vagina changes, which, due to poor lubrication, can experience infections, pain and injuries more often. The most popular ailments that are associated with the aging of the intimate area are:
- Vaginal dryness — It is directly related to the loss of natural hydration, which affects the quality of sexual life (a woman may feel pain during intercourse), injuries, irritations and intimate infections.
- Urinary incontinence — Relaxation of the pelvic floor muscles and estrogen deficiency mean that a woman may struggle with the problem of uncontrollable leakage of urine, for example when laughing, sneezing or coughing.
- Atrophy (atrophy) of the labia — Decreased production of estrogen causes the labia to become limp, change shape and even color. This may result in discomfort during intercourse or other physical activity.
What slows down the aging process? It is worth focusing on a healthy lifestyle
While aging is unavoidable, it can be slowed down by following a healthy lifestyle. It is worth giving up stimulants such as alcohol and cigarettes, as well as regularly practicing sports and paying attention to the fact that the diet is balanced and full of nutrients. Fast food or highly processed foods will not work. Few people realize that the aging of the vagina also accelerates giving up sex life.
In addition, you should not forget about regular visits to the gynecologist and carrying out appropriate examinations.
