What Is Vaginal Laxity?
Vaginal laxity means the vaginal canal feels looser or less toned than before. Usually, it follows childbirth, as the tissues stretch to allow delivery.
Because this change is so common, you are far from alone. Moreover, it can affect comfort, sensation and confidence, which is why many women look for help.
Why Does It Happen?
Childbirth is the most common cause, especially after more than one delivery. In addition, ageing, hormonal change and natural variation can play a part.
- Stretching of tissue during vaginal delivery
- Weakening of the supporting muscles
- Hormonal change with age or menopause
Treatment Options
Happily, several options exist, from gentle to surgical. For mild laxity, non-surgical treatments may help, while surgery suits more noticeable changes.
- Surgical tightening with vaginoplasty
- Laser vaginal tightening for mild cases
- Pelvic floor strengthening for support
What to Expect
First, a private consultation assesses the degree of laxity. Then, an honest plan is suggested, with realistic expectations. Throughout, your comfort and privacy come first.
