Vaginal Laxity

What Is It?

Vaginal laxity refers to a loss of tightness or tone in the vaginal area.

This can happen gradually over time, often following childbirth, as part of the natural ageing process, or due to hormonal changes.

You might notice that things feel different to how they used to, whether that's physically or in terms of sensation.

For some women, it's subtle.

For others, it can start to affect comfort, or how they feel in everyday situations.

It's important to know that this is a common experience and nothing to feel embarrassed about.

Bodies change, and this is simply one of those changes that can happen over time.

There are treatment options available that can help restore support and improve how you feel, helping you feel more comfortable in your body and in everyday life.

Symptoms

You might notice:

• A loss of tightness

• Reduced sensation

• Feeling less supported

• Mild bladder leakage in some cases

• Changes in comfort during intimacy

Causes

Vaginal laxity can develop due to:

• Childbirth, particularly vaginal delivery

• Ageing, as tissues naturally lose elasticity

• Hormonal changes, especially during menopause

• Natural changes in collagen and muscle tone

• Genetic factors affecting tissue strength

Treatment Options

Support is available, and treatment will depend on your individual needs.

When to Seek Help

If you've noticed these changes and they're affecting how you feel, whether physically or emotionally, it may be worth speaking to a specialist.

You don't need to wait for symptoms to become more noticeable.

Early advice can help you understand your options and what might work best for you.

Reassurance

This is more common than you might think, especially after childbirth or as your body changes over time.
