When we age, not only hair and skin experience aging. Some other body parts also experience changes. Anything? In women, for example breasts that start to sag. Women must also experience menopause. Not only that, the genital form of women can also change. Maybe you don't realize it when the vagina changes. Yes, it turns out the shape of the vagina changes with age. What do you want to know?
How does the vagina change as we get older?
This change starts when you grow up, but we will begin to discuss it from the age of 20 years. The following is the explanation:
Vaginal shape is 20 years after puberty
Entering the age of 20, you have finished experiencing puberty. Finally, your organs reach the adult size phase. Likewise with the labia mayora (the outside of the vaginal lips), the shape will become slimmer. At this age, subcutaneous fat (fat located below the surface of the skin) has decreased, including in your genital area.
Vaginal discoloration at the age of 30 years
At this age there are hormonal changes due to pregnancy and birth control pills. Aging can cause the labia minora (the inside of the lips that surrounds the clitoris and vaginal mouth) to darken. The use of birth control pills for several years can cause the vagina to dry out, and limited vaginal lubrication.
Some women experience vulvar dryness due to the use of birth control pills. The reason is that this pill can inhibit the male hormone called androgens, this vulva that has a receptor on the hormone androgen.
As with pregnancy and childbirth, the vulva and vagina will still be affected. Even some women find varicose veins in the vagina due to a swollen uterus when you are pregnant. But take it easy, enlarging the blood vessels when pregnant is a natural thing.
Maybe you are worried that the vaginal shape will not come back after giving birth, the fact is the shape of the vagina will return to normal during childbirth. The reason is that the vagina is rich in blood supply and has natural elasticity. There are some women who experience some muscle and nerve damage given the pressure on the pelvic floor muscles during pregnancy and birth.
Effects of estrogen changes at the age of 40 years
Yes, this age is indeed a reproductive function will decline slightly. Women still ovulate and menstruate, but this cycle will be shorter than usual. You also begin to experience signs of menopause due to a decrease in the hormone estrogen. Uniquely for those of you who are accustomed to shaving pubic hair, you will realize the effect of shaving itself, namely changes in skin pigment around the vagina. Decreased estrogen affects the thinning pubic hair of this age.
Vaginal changes at the age of 50 years
Maybe at this age, you start experiencing early menopause. The effects of a decrease in estrogen can make the vagina thinner, less elastic, dry on the vulva, and vagina. You will need additional lubricants during sex, so you don't get sick and irritated. If you often notice changes in the vagina, you will find vaginal fat and collagen loss, so it is very possible to find wrinkles in this section. When the hormone estrogen decreases, the vaginal pH will decrease, your vagina can be exposed to certain bacteria. Acidity can increase so that the vagina is very susceptible to infection.
Vaginal changes aged 60 years
Hot flashes and night sweats can occur for several years. Vaginal dryness is unavoidable, around 50 to 60 percent of women experience dry vaginal problems. You need to see a doctor to deal with this problem.
Having sex clearly will hurt you. In addition, you may also experience urinary incontinence (a condition where you cannot resist urination). You will experience postmenopausal symptoms. If you experience a burning or hot sensation after sex, don't forget to consult a doctor. You can also use vaginal moisturizer to help relieve vaginal dryness.
