What Is the Complete Vagina Structure and How Does It Change Over Time? - #15535
I’ve been doing some reading on women’s health, and I realized that I don’t fully understand the vagina structure and how it changes throughout different stages of life. I know the vagina structure consists of multiple parts, including the vaginal canal, cervix, and surrounding muscles, but I have so many questions about how it functions and adapts over time. For example, how does pregnancy and childbirth affect the vagina structure? I’ve heard so many different things—some say the vagina naturally tightens back after birth, while others say it permanently changes. What’s the truth? Does the elasticity return fully, or does it depend on factors like genetics, age, or pelvic floor exercises? Another thing I’m curious about is how menopause affects the vagina structure. I’ve read that hormonal changes can cause vaginal dryness and thinning of the vaginal walls. Why does that happen? And are there any natural ways to maintain vaginal health as women age? From an Ayurvedic perspective, are there herbs or practices that help keep the vagina structure healthy throughout life? I’ve come across mentions of oils and herbal remedies, but I’m not sure which ones are actually effective. Also, do dietary changes make a difference? I’d love to learn more from people who have knowledge about this topic. If anyone has experienced changes in their vagina structure after childbirth or menopause, what helped you maintain vaginal health?
