What is the size of the vagina in women?
It must be said that in its structure this organ resembles a hollow muscular tube whose length and width can vary due to various reasons. So it is established that at the moment of sexual arousal, as well as in the generic process, the folds of the vagina are smoothed, thus increasing its overall length.
Normally, in the usual state, the length of this organ is 7-12 cm, increasing at birth to 19 cm! With regard to the width of the vagina, then on average, it is in a calm state of 2-3 cm, and when the sexual act can increase to 5-6 cm. When the baby leaves the birth canal, the diameter of this organ fully corresponds to the circumference of the head of the newborn baby.
Why can women have a small vagina?
First of all, it is necessary to say about the individual characteristics of the organism. In the process of growing up girls, all of its reproductive organs increase in size, including the vagina. So, already closer to the period of puberty (11-13 years) it becomes wider and not so short. However, in view of the impact on the body of a girl of various external factors, the growth of reproductive organs may slow down.
Often, women with a small vagina have problems in the work of the reproductive system. However, this, as a rule, is the reason for the small size of this body, and not the consequence.
Also, the small size of the vagina in girls can be due to lack of sexual intercourse. In most cases, with regular sexual activity, there is a slight increase in the size of this organ.
Thus, it is necessary to say that in most cases, to determine the doctors, why the girl has a small vagina, just fails. In cases where its size interferes with normal sexual life, surgical plasty is performed, which helps to effect both an enlargement of the entrance and excision of scar tissue (removal of excess connective tissue structures formed, for example, after surgical interventions on the reproductive organs).
