Sharing this information Dr Preeti Jindal, Renowned Gynecologist, IVF Expert and Director of The Touch Clinic Mohali said that more than 50% women suffer from involuntary leakage of urine with passing age.
She said that women suffering with vaginal laxity experience urinary incontinence and it also reduces the pleasurable sensations during sexual intercourse, leading to loss of sexual desire and embarrassment. They have constant backache, feeling of something coming out from vagina & dragging sensations.
Dr Preeti Jindal informed that most sexually active women suffer from vaginal laxity at some point. “ Lifecycle processes such as childbirth, hormonal changes that accompany aging and severe weight fluctuations can overstretch vaginal tissue, damage the pelvic floor, damage collagen and alter the mucosal tone of the vaginal wall ; thus leading to vaginal laxity, urinary leakage & backache in many women”, she said.
