Can Labia Minora Shrink?

Pubic hair decreases, the labia majora atrophy, and the labia minora and clitoris shrink in size. The vaginal changes are often more marked than the external genital changes.

What causes labia minora to shrink?

Once a woman hits menopause, she no longer makes the same amount of estrogen as she did before menopause. Because of this, the labia and the clitoris will shrink, become smaller, or atrophy – all due to the hormones not being on the same level as they once were.

Do labia shrink?

The clitoris can shrink, the labia can loosen, and there may be shrinkage of some tissue, Dr Tan said. The urethral entrance may also start to "pout a little bit and look a little bit fleshy". "Like skin anywhere else it becomes thinner and a bit less elastic. That plumpness becomes a bit saggy," she said.
