Narrowing of the vagina or not seems like a sensitive topic to discuss. But ladies, you need to know what is normal and what is not about your vagina. Some women may feel that their vagina is too tight, but some women find it too loose. This article will provide you with important information on whether your female parts are quite normal and what are the causes.
How do I know if my vagina is too narrow?
Narrowing or not the vagina varies from woman to woman. What is considered a "meeting" for one person can be considered normal for another. When you examine your vagina, compare it to what you think is normal. If your vagina is too narrow, there are a number of things you may experience:
- Feeling very sick during sexual activity. The pain may go away immediately after stopping the activity, but it can also last for several days.
- During penetration, the sensation of burning in the vagina increases.
- It hurts a lot when you insert the tampon.
- In the long run, this problem can cause a loss of sexual desire due to fear of uncomfortable penetration.
Generally, it's normal for you to feel a little uncomfortable the first time you have sex. This is because your body closes down when something enters it. However, the discomfort will go away once your body gets used to penetration.
If your vagina is too tight, your sex life can be unsatisfactory for both you and your partner. You may feel pain or itching for hours after sex, and sex becomes a burden for both you and your partner.
Why is my vagina too narrow?
There are several causes of a narrow vagina. This condition also varies from time to time in the same person and needs to be examined by a gynecologist. Some of the possible causes of vaginal tightness:
- Sexual problems. Having experienced discomfort during sex at a young age can cause the vaginal muscles to have a closing reaction as a protective method. Sick sex can be triggered by several reasons, such as infections, abnormal physical conditions, and side effects of drugs.
- Mental disorders. Some conditions of stress or fatigue and depression can cause vaginal closure reactions.
- Fright. In this case, fear is controlling a muscle outside of your consciousness. It could be fear caused by fear of getting pregnant, feeling that your femininity is not good enough or other emotional problems.
What are the treatments for a narrow vagina?
Women with narrow vaginas can do light pelvic floor exercises to control vaginal muscles. You can do Kegel exercises with a squeeze - hold - relaxation cycle. This exercise can be done several times a day.
Another method is to massage the vaginal wall while the surrounding muscles contract. Insert 1 finger, up to around the joint of the first knuckle, into the vagina while doing the exercise. Cut the nails first and use lubricating jelly to make it more comfortable. Start with 1 finger up to 3 fingers. You will feel the vaginal muscles contracting around your finger, and you can immediately release your finger if you feel discomfort.
However, for people with severe conditions, it is recommended to arrange an appointment with a professional gynecologist for consultation.
If you feel that your vaginal condition is disturbing or not getting better, don't be shy about discussing the problem with your doctor. Without proper support and treatment, this condition can cause long-term problems with emotions and relationships, as well as to your own health.
