The vagina is a dynamic structure influenced by hormones, blood flow, muscle tone, and tissue elasticity. Life stages such as childbirth, menopause, and natural aging can lead to thinning of vaginal tissue, decreased lubrication, and reduced elasticity.
Hormonal shifts—particularly declining estrogen—can affect tissue resilience and moisture levels. These changes may contribute to discomfort, dryness, or altered sensation, even in otherwise healthy individuals.
