bit embarassed, even as a faceless poster. for a while, not sure how long, feels (not always) a bit uncomfortable, sometimes i get sore, when making love with dh, feels like there is a 'bit of skin' in the way (tmi!! sorry). i have got paranoid that the roof of vagina may have lowered, age thing? maybe i am just paranoid and it is no different than it has been for years but there has been a few times in the last few months that sex has become a bit uncomfortable. and when i sneeze i have noticed that i can feel my vagina. does anyone else have this? i can't remember noticing it before. i am 47 and possibly losing my marbles. stupid really as i was looking at myself with a mirror down below before. what was i looking for? no idea, not as if i am familiar with checking myself so i have no idea if it looks any different now to how it did say two years ago. actually, it is a somewhat ugly thing isn't it! especially having had a child (although 9 years ago), i got quite a shock!! just wondered if anyone else has noticed this or similar. does a vagina 'relax' as we get older. is this the beginning of a prolapse?

It does sound like a prolapse. Get yourself to your GP sooner rather than later. Going sooner may mean you only need to do exercises and things will return to normal, going later may mean a operation to put things right.

Just to say if they do recommend exercises invest in an electrical stimulation machine for your pelvic floor - like a slender tone for your bits. They are much more effective than just doing them yourself.
