As women get older, the vagina naturally changes because hormone levels, especially estrogen, decrease over time. This can make the vaginal tissue slightly thinner, drier, or less elastic than before. These changes are normal and happen gradually as part of aging.
It does not mean something is wrong or unhealthy. Many women continue to have normal body function and comfort. Staying healthy, maintaining hygiene, and using lubrication if needed can help improve comfort.
If there is pain, unusual discharge, or strong discomfort, it is best to speak with a healthcare professional.
