10 Things You Should Know About Your Period
Vulva pigmentation
The vulva can get darker in color with age or after giving birth. The change in color can also be caused by the aftereffect of years of hair removal, which can change the way the vulva looks, as well. Also according to Kara Earthman who said to Healthline, generally skin elasticity and pubic hair stay the same as before, but in some cases the skin around the vagina also loses some elasticity and fat.
Stretching and appearance
Because of age and after giving birth, the muscles stretch and tear. It may take longer to heal at this age compared to your 20s. This can change how you vagina looks and feels, although a lot of women don't notice these changes. The vagina may look saggy and you could notice extra tissue. If you practice Kegels and pelvic floor physical therapy before you give brith, it can help reduce the effects of delivery and assist your muscles.

Kegel exercises
Like we mentioned you can help with the changes in your vagina with your lifestyle, like practicing Kegel exercises. In our 30s, vaginas lose their natural muscle tone, the pelvic floor muscles lose their strength because of the effects of childbirth and age. So strengthening you pelvic floor muscles with Kegel exercises is important and can help because when they're too weak they affect the uterus, bladder and bowel. You could also feel a heaviness in your vagina.
