Posted on Thu, 7 Nov 2013
Question: I went over twenty years without sex. Today I had sex (although no orgasm) and my vagina felt so tight it hurt and I bled a little. Does the vagina tighten when not having sex for decades?

Brief Answer:
Age related hormonal fluctuations, psychological

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for the query.
The cause of tightness of vagina can be due to:
-Age related changes. With progress of the age hormonal fluctuation occurs, that can lead to thinning and atrophy of vaginal tissue. That can lead to tightness and friction can induce bleeding. Decreased vaginal moisture can also be one cause.
- Psychological tension or stress can also lead to difficulty during intercourse.
So better to use some lubricant from next time onwards.
If the spotting repeats, better to consult gynecologist once and get examined.
If she recommends go for estrogen cream for local application.
Hope I have answered your query. I will be available to answer followup queries. If you are satisfied with the answer, please give your review at the end of the discussion.
Take care.
