What to do if your vagina is loose

The vagina is a part of the body that women pay more attention to, but as they age, there are also many unavoidable problems with the female vagina, such as vaginal loosening. When encountering such a situation, many women don’t know what to do and can only watch it become looser, or take some drug treatments. So what methods should women take to solve the problem of vaginal loosening?

Causes

1. Elastic fiber damage

The normal vagina is 2.5 cm in diameter and about 8 cm long. There are many "elastic fibers" on the vaginal wall that support the vagina's elasticity. Countless "elastic fibers" are woven into a dense vaginal elastic fiber network, entangling the vaginal mucosa and many folds, which can increase friction during sexual intercourse and give pleasure to both parties. As you age, the vagina becomes loose due to marriage and childbirth. When the elastic fibers in the vagina break, the vaginal opening expands and the vaginal walls become brittle and thinner, making it easier for bacteria to invade and the vagina is prone to organic damage during intercourse. Due to the rupture and atrophy of the elastic fiber network in the vulva, the sensitivity of the peripheral nerves in the vulva decreases and becomes dull, resulting in sexual indifference, pain during sexual intercourse, etc. The rupture of "elastic fibers" and damage to the elastic fiber network in the vagina are the main causes of vaginal relaxation in patients with vaginal relaxation. When the female vaginal wall is torn or there is frequent strenuous exercise, during sexual intercourse, childbirth, frequent sexual life, abortion, or medical abortion, the elastic fibers in the vagina are "stretched" again and again, the "vaginal elastic network" is broken, and the vagina is stretched and unable to retract, resulting in "vaginal relaxation."

2. Disease population

(1) People with chronic diseases, weak constitutions, and emaciation have looser muscles, fascia, ligaments, and other structures, which aggravates vaginal relaxation.

(2) As women age, their estrogen levels decrease, causing degeneration of muscles, fascia, ligaments and related supporting structures. Muscle tension decreases, fascia becomes thinner, and the vaginal mucosa atrophies, exacerbating vaginal relaxation.

Clinical manifestations

The main tissues that maintain the elasticity and tightness of the female vagina are the muscles and fascia of the pelvic floor. Vaginal delivery will damage the pelvic floor tissues to varying degrees. At the same time, with the increase of age, the ovarian function gradually declines, the amount of estrogen decreases, causing the supporting structures such as the fascia to degenerate, the muscle tension decreases, and the mucosa atrophies, making the vagina more loose and lacking in elasticity. Over time, some women develop urethral or bladder prolapse, leading to stress urinary incontinence (inability to hold urine when sneezing or jumping), difficulty urinating or repeated urinary tract infections, or constipation due to rectal prolapse.

Some patients with vaginal relaxation are slow to respond or do not respond to stimulation during sexual intercourse, making it difficult for them to reach orgasm. Over time, this can lead to sexual apathy, affecting the quality of life of the couple and even causing a breakdown in their relationship. Vaginal relaxation can cause the vagina to be unable to "hold" the penis, loss of sexual pleasure and orgasm, sexual indifference, vaginal flatulence, vaginal dryness, and a relaxed vagina allows bacteria and toxins to remain, causing vaginitis, cervicitis, and even ascending infection to difficult-to-cure gynecological diseases such as endometritis and adnexitis.

1. Self-therapy

"Contract the anus and lift the breath" method: every morning and evening in a place with fresh air, take a deep breath and then hold it. At the same time, contract the anus as if you are holding back a bowel movement or urination, and repeat this more than 100 times. After a certain period of training, the tension of the pelvic muscles will be greatly improved, and the muscles around the vagina will become plump and strong, and vaginal relaxation can be cured without medication. The "interrupted urination" training abroad can also improve the tension of the muscles around the vagina. The method is: perform urination interruption training when urinating, hold back the urine when urinating halfway, and then continue urinating after a short pause.

2. Vaginal tightening surgery

If the above methods are not able to effectively solve the problem of vaginal relaxation, you can consider a vaginal tightening surgery. Vaginal tightening surgery is a gynecological surgery designed to address the above-mentioned physiological changes in women, to improve the quality of sexual life of couples and to treat urethral, ​​bladder and rectal prolapse. Vaginal tightening surgery relieves patients' psychological and physical pain, improves their quality of life, and restores women's self-confidence.
