As for the question of at what age women experience vulvar atrophy, generally speaking, vulvar atrophy occurs in middle-aged and elderly women, especially after menopause. Since the uterus and ovaries no longer secrete enough estrogen, the private parts will shrink due to lack of relevant nourishment.
