Every woman in this world comes through a phase in life where she ages, gives vaginal childbirth or goes through the painful effects of menopause. While for some, these stages cause general physical inconvenience, for others it might lead to a greater health issue called vaginal laxity. In simple terms, vaginal laxity is nothing but vaginal looseness, a physical condition in which the sensitivity and tightness of the vaginal wall are diminished leading to major problems like stress urinary incontinence, lack of sensation leading to less satisfying sex and a lot more. Many other side effects could also arise, so read on to get a detailed insight into this rising health issue.
What causes vaginal laxity?
While the problem of vaginal laxity is becoming increasingly common among women, the causes of this could be different for varying body types. Although the major cause of this is childbirth, it is not the only reason. Significant vaginal laxity can be experienced while a woman goes through menopause. This happens as the estrogen levels in a female body drop during this time. Vaginal trauma, radiation treatments, aging and genetic disorders which adversely affect a body’s collagen metabolism are also some common reasons leading to vaginal looseness.
What are the symptoms of vaginal laxity and when should you visit a doctor?
Vaginal laxity is a fairly under-reported condition and its symptoms might well be overlooked many times. Loss of sensation is the major symptom of vaginal laxity. If you feel a considerable decrease in sexual satisfaction, you should definitely get yourself checked. The condition majorly affects the body image and sexual functioning of a female. Vaginal laxity is also one of the primary causes of stress urinary incontinence. So if you feel the inability to control your bladder, visit a specialized doctor and discuss the issue openly because the sooner you get it treated, the better it is for your body.
How is vaginal laxity diagnosed?
So how would you know if you are someone suffering from this private female problem? Symptoms like decreased sexual satisfaction, insufficient lubrication, confidence loss, pain during intercourse and the loss of sensation during intercourse indicate vaginal laxity.
How is vaginal laxity treated?
Some of the commonly used methods to treat vaginal laxity include the use of herbal creams and gels and Kegel exercises which help the body in strengthening the pelvic floor muscles. While these treatments work in some cases, other scientifically advanced treatments include surgical vaginoplasty and utilizing laser or radiofrequency energy to tighten the vaginal walls.
