Does the vulva thin out after menopause?

There is a risk of thinning of the vulva after menopause.
After menopause, the hormone level in the body will decrease, losing the support of hormones, the collagen of the vulva and the ability to retain water will be reduced, which will lead to the thinning of the vulva, and may also lead to the disappearance of elastic fibers of the adipose tissue of the vulva, and the elasticity will become poor.
In addition, the vaginal epithelium will also atrophy after menopause, leading to a decrease in secretions and a lack of vaginal pH, which may increase the chances of suffering from senile vaginitis.
After menopause, due to the body’s reduced hormone level secretion, in addition to the above symptoms, there may also be senile endometritis, angina pectoris, urethral mucosal prolapse, involuntary urinary overflow and so on.
After menopause, women will mostly experience discomfort, and if the symptoms are more serious, it is recommended to consult a doctor in time.
