How do women's private parts change as they age?

The female reproductive organs are the sacred area that nurtures life and reproduces offspring, and the vagina is the most private place. However, many women know very little about the vagina. As you age, your vagina changes. At the age of 20, the labia majora shrinks normally; at the age of 30, the labia minora becomes darker in color; in the 40s, the menstrual cycle shortens, etc. To help women better understand the changes in the private parts, let's take a look at the following.

In your 20s:

The labia majora will contract normally.

After puberty is fully completed, female body organs have reached adult size. At this time, the labia majora will shrink slightly, but there is no need to panic. The reason is that as we age, the subcutaneous fat, including the female sexual organs, gradually decreases.

In your 30s:

The labia minora will become darker in color.

Hormonal changes due to pregnancy or aging can cause the labia minora to naturally darken and darken in color. If this happens during self-examination, there is no need to be alarmed.

The elasticity of the uterus gradually increases.

During pregnancy, the uterus will expand like a balloon to the size of a watermelon or even larger, but it will shrink back to its original size within 6 weeks after delivery. Today, about 32% of women choose cesarean sections, which avoid stretching or tearing of the vaginal opening during childbirth, but the cesarean scar may be painful for a longer time.

In your 40s:

The menstrual cycle will shorten.

Although the number of eggs a woman produces decreases significantly in her early 40s, she still continues to ovulate and her menstruation remains normal. But the menstrual cycle will become shorter, and menopause will end at around 51 years old, entering menopause. No longer able to reproduce.

The reproductive organs are mainly composed of ligaments, tissues and muscles.

Being overweight, aging, and years of intense exercise can cause the pelvic floor muscles and genitals to relax, and even lead to urinary leakage or a feeling of heaviness in the lower abdomen. Doing more pelvic floor exercises can help improve this.

Low estrogen levels can affect the acid-base balance of the vagina, causing apoptosis of vaginal wall cells and thinning of the vaginal wall, making it more susceptible to vaginal inflammation, itching, burning pain, redness and dryness. Having sex regularly can help prevent vaginal atrophy.

In short, female friends should understand their own "secret garden" and keep it in a hygienic and healthy state. No matter how it changes with age, it is normal and there is no need to worry about the occurrence of diseases.
