C-Section births – Researches have observed that women who have not given vaginal births are at risk of vaginal atrophy.
No sexual activity - No sexual activity decreases blood flow and makes your vaginal tissues more rigid.
Vaginal infections.
Changes in the acid balance of your vagina causing vaginal infections.
