What You Need to Know About Va**nal Health at Every Age
👭👭👭👭👭👭👭👭👭👭👭👭👭👭👭👭👭👭
As you age, your body goes through many changes. This includes your va**na. Your va**na is a soft tissue canal. Your va**nal opening is part of your v***a, which also includes your cl****is, l***a, and p***c mound. Your internal va**nal canal connects your v***a to your cervix and uterus.
Throughout your life your va**na may appear and feel different. To keep your va**na healthy, it’s important to understand what’s going on “down there.”
Va**nal health in your 20s :
-----------------------------------------------
Your 20s are some of your va**na’s best years, mainly due to a peak of the s*x hormones estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. Estrogen is responsible for keeping your va**na lubricated, elastic, and acidic.
Your va**na is surrounded by two sets of skin folds known as the inner l***a and outer l***a. The outer l***a contain a layer of fatty tissue. In your 20s, the outer layer thins and may appear smaller.
Your libido may be on overdrive during your 20s. If you’re s*xually active, especially if you have s*x frequently, you may experience urinary tract infections (UTI) as bacteria travel from the va**na to the urethra. To help minimize your risk of developing a UTI, urinate as soon as possible after s*x to help force bacteria out of your va**na.
Hormonal changes during your menstrual cycle affect the amount of discharge your va**na produces. Unless you’re having symptoms such as pain during s*x, itching, a foul-smelling discharge, or burning, your va**na needs little maintenance in your 20s — other than a daily washing & PH balancing Lubricating of your v***a (the outer parts around the va**na) with mild soap and water.
Va**nal health in your 30s:
----------------------------------------------
During your 30s, your inner l***a may darken due to hormone changes. If you become pregnant, va**nal discharge may increase and appear milky. It may have a mild odor, but should not be green, yellow, or smell bad or fishy.
After giving birth, your va**na may lose some of its elasticity and stretch more than usual. Over time, most va**nas will return to almost prebirth size. Kegel exercises & Or Homeopathy can help by strengthening pelvic floor muscles and restoring va**nal tone.
Oral contraceptives may cause va**nal changes such as increased va**nal discharge, va**nal dryness, and breakthrough bleeding. These symptoms often resolve on their own. If they persist, consult your doctor.
Va**nal health in your 40s
----------------------------------------------
Thanks to perimenopause, the timespan just before you stop menstruating, your va**na goes through significant changes in your 40s. As estrogen levels in your body decrease, your va**nal walls become thinner and drier. This is known as va**nal atrophy and may cause:
va**nal burning
va**nal redness
painful s*x
va**nal discharge
va**nal itching
burning during urination
shortening of the va**nal canal
increased risk of s*xually
transmitted diseases
Having regular s*x helps slow the progression of va**nal atrophy by increasing blood flow to the va**na and keeping it elastic. va**nal moisturizers or applying a va**nal estrogen cream may also help combat va**nal dryness. Va**nal estrogen is available in tablet form or as a replaceable ring as well. If you prefer the natural route, olive oil and coconut oil can help keep your va**na moisturized.
Your p***c hair may thin or turn gray during your fourth decade.
Va**nal health in your 50s and beyond:
------------------------------------------------------------------
By now, you’ve probably stopped menstruating and your estrogen levels are quite low or depleted. Your v***a may appear shrunken. Va**nal atrophy is a common problem for many women in their 50s.
Low estrogen may change the acidity in your va**na. This may increase your risk of infection due to bacteria overgrowth. Low estrogen doesn’t only impact your va**na. It also impacts your urinary tract. Atrophy may occur in your urethra and lead to urine leakage, overactive bladder, and urinary frequency.
Oral or va**nal hormone therapy may help reduce the symptoms of va**nal and urinary atrophy. Even so, hormone therapy isn’t a good option for all women. Other remedies include:
doing bladder training exercises
(biofeedback)
using a va**nal dilator to improve
va**nal elasticity
eating a healthy diet
maintaining a healthy weight
reducing or eliminating caffeine from
your diet
stopping smoking
doing Kegel exercises and other
pelvic floor exercises
using va**nal lubricants
using va**nal moisturizers
Postmenopausal women are at risk of va**nal prolapse. Prolonged labor and va**nal childbirth are also risk factors. Va**nal prolapse occurs when all or part of the va**nal canal falls into the va**nal opening. Va**nal prolapse often involves other organs such as the bladder, re**um, and uterus.
Va**nal prolapse symptoms may include a heavy sensation in the pelvis, va**nal discomfort, and a low backache that improves when you lie down. Va**nal prolapse treatments are pelvic floor exercises, insertion of a pessary (supportive device) to hold the pr*****ed area in place, or as a last resort, surgery.
