What happens to your vagina as you age? Answers from Odile Bagot, gynecologist (Page 2 ) | March 22, 2025

Annonce:

Unlike the vagina, the vulva and vestibule show visible signs of aging:

Loss of tone : The labia minora and majora become less swollen and more flabby, due to the decrease in connective tissue.
Pubic Hair Changes : Like head hair, pubic hair turns white over time.
Increased sensitivity : The mucous membrane of the vestibule, similar to that of the vagina, becomes drier, more fragile and prone to microfissures .

Prevent and alleviate inconveniences

Fortunately, there are several solutions that can help limit this discomfort and preserve the health of this intimate area.

Local hormonal treatment

Estrogens, administered in the form of ovules, creams or tablets, can restore hydration and elasticity to the mucous membranes. They are recommended if the patient has no history of breast cancer.
