Like all parts of the body, the vagina and vulva undergo the effects of time. These transformations, although natural, can cause discomfort in some women, especially after menopause. How can these intimate areas evolve, and what can be done to preserve them? Here are the explanations from Odile Bagot, gynecologist.

The vagina, although invisible to women, is subject to significant changes with age.
Less lubrication
After menopause, the vagina produces less natural secretions, which can cause a feeling of dryness during sexual intercourse. Lubrication also becomes delayed, making these moments sometimes uncomfortable.
