5 Simple Ways To Tighten Your Loose Vagina - Logo - Consult Gynecologist

What does it mean to have a loose vagina’? Although not defined medically, the common notion is that a woman with a ‘loose vagina’ is unable to experience heightened pleasure as the tissues are unable to contract or relax properly during sex.

There are a lot of speculations around the tightness of the vagina. Several researches and experiments have been conducted to understand the probable reasons for the vagina becoming loose.

How does the vagina become loose?

The vagina never retains its original state.  As the anatomy of a female keeps on changing with time, so does the vagina. So how does the vagina change over time?

Well, the changes in the vagina primarily refer to the changes related to its elasticity and not the physical structure in general. Contrary to the belief that regular sex makes the vagina looser , the vagina actually lacks its tightness over time due to other factors.

After vaginal childbirth clubbed with aging, the vagina loses its elasticity as the pelvic floor muscles get disrupted. Hence, several women after childbirth experience extreme irritation and are unable to hold their pee for long. 

Childbirth

While pushing the baby through the vaginal canal, the muscles stretch excessively. Although these tissues contract on their own within a couple of days, some laxity remains and the vagina may not return to its original shape. 

Aging

As age progresses, the hormonal levels in women also change. Women who are reaching menopause tend to produce lower levels of estrogen that contributes to change in vagina’s elasticity. Thus, menopausal women are more prone to suffering from vaginal looseness as the tissues become less flexible, dry and thinner.

Vaginoplasty surgery is primarily prescribed when the patient suffers from excessive looseness down there.
