A condition where the pelvic organs bulge into the vagina
A growing body of epidemiological and review literature links more frequent ejaculation — whether from masturbation or partnered sex — to a lower observed risk of prostate cancer, and experts propose ...
Measuring vaginal depth can be done several ways: during a standard pelvic exam clinicians make functional, relative assessments using a speculum and bimanual palpation, while research and surgical se...
Sexual arousal produces reversible increases in vaginal length and width through engorgement and lubrication, typically moving resting depths of roughly 2–4 inches to about 4–8 inches in many people d...
(part of ) causes thinning, loss of elasticity, decreased rugae and lubrication of the vaginal wall, and is described in the medical literature as producing a “shortened, narrowed, and poorly distensi...
Vaginal length and elasticity influence the mechanics of penetration — how deep and where contact occurs — but the best available evidence finds no consistent link between . (cervical lift, "tenting")...
Persistent anal pain after training should prompt medical evaluation when it does not improve with basic self-care within a few days, when it is severe or worsening, or when it is accompanied by red f...
the risk of female sexual pain or minor genital injury because increased circumference raises friction and pressure during penetration, which—especially without adequate arousal and lubrication—can ca...
Vaginal infections such as bacterial vaginosis (BV) and yeast infections commonly cause irritation, abnormal discharge, and odors that can make receiving oral sex physically uncomfortable and emotiona...
Ketamine bladder syndrome—also called ketamine-induced cystitis or ketamine-associated cystitis—is an inflammatory, often painful lower-urinary-tract disorder seen in frequent recreational ketamine us...
Researchers measure vaginal depth and related dimensions with a mix of imaging (MRI, CT), ultrasound, physical castings and intra‑operative/dilator measurements; results are method‑dependent but repea...
Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and vaginismus both commonly impair sexual function, but they do so through different mechanisms: POP alters the position and topography of vaginal and pelvic organs, which...
Yes — vaginal length and depth can change after childbirth and after pelvic surgery, but the effects are variable: childbirth commonly stretches the vaginal opening and weakens pelvic floor muscles (p...
