Do the vagina and other sex organs change in appearance as one grows older?

0

Eventually, the vagina and other sex organs do change in appearance just like the other structures in the body. When you grow older, the ovaries eventually stop producing female sex hormones, estrogen and progesterone. Estrogen is responsible for giving women the curves that they have. It also makes the skin feel nice and soft. Bones as well as blood vessels are also influenced by estrogen. The ovaries and other sex organs such as the uterus and the vagina are also dependent on this hormone. When the ovaries stop producing estrogen, the vagina becomes dry and shrinks and also the uterus decreases in size. This happens when a woman reaches 40 to 50 years of her age. During this time, she undergoes menopause. Because the body stops producing sex hormones, the ovaries also stop functioning. Egg cells are no longer released by the ovaries each month and hence, the menstruation stops.
