Will the postmenstrual period cause vaginal relaxation?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Vaginal relaxation is a relatively common condition in women. The causes of vaginal relaxation in women include:
1. As women age, the estrogen level decreases, leading to degenerative changes in the muscles, fascia, ligaments, and related supportive structures. The muscle tone weakens, the fascia thins, and the vaginal mucosa atrophies, further exacerbating vaginal relaxation.
