What can I do for vaginal laxity?

“Ever since I had my first child, I’ve noticed less pleasure during sex and it feels like my vagina is wider. It feels like vaginal laxity. What can I do?”

Treatment for vaginal laxity depends on its possible causes and may involve anything from pelvic floor physical therapy to surgery. Treatment should be recommended by a doctor.

The exact cause of vaginal laxity is not known, but it is more common in women after a vaginal delivery and may also be associated with menopause, aging, pelvic organ prolapse, or a history of surgery in this area.

In addition, although some treatments for vaginal laxity involve the use of lasers or heat, for example, more studies are needed to confirm their benefits and safety before they can be recommended.
