Postmenopausal women are at risk of vaginal prolapse. Even so, hormone therapy isn’t a good option for all women. Oral or vaginal hormone therapy may help reduce the symptoms of vaginal and urinary atrophy. Atrophy may occur in your urethra and lead to urine leakage, overactive bladder, and urinary frequency. Low estrogen doesn’t only impact your vagina. This may increase your risk of infection due to bacteria overgrowth. Low estrogen may change the acidity in your vagina. Vaginal atrophy is a common problem for many women in their 50s. Unless you’re having symptoms such as pain during sex, itching, a foul-smelling discharge, or burning, your vagina needs little maintenance in your 20s - other than a daily washing of your vulva (the outer parts around the vagina) with mild soap and water.īy now, you’ve probably stopped menstruating and your estrogen levels are quite low or depleted. Hormonal changes during your menstrual cycle affect the amount of discharge your vagina produces. As it cleans itself, it produces a white or clear discharge. To help minimize your risk of developing a UTI, urinate as soon as possible after sex to help force bacteria out of your vagina. If you’re sexually active, especially if you have sex frequently, you may experience urinary tract infections (UTI) as bacteria travel from the vagina to the urethra.
Your libido may be on overdrive during your 20s.
In your 20s, the outer layer thins and may appear smaller.
The outer labia contain a layer of fatty tissue. Your vagina is surrounded by two sets of skin folds known as the inner labia and outer labia. Estrogen is responsible for keeping your vagina lubricated, elastic, and acidic. Your 20s are some of your vagina’s best years, mainly due to a peak of the sex hormones estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone.
