Can weight loss improve vaginal sensitivity?
Weight loss can improve blood flow, hormonal balance, and pelvic floor health, which may support improvements in vaginal sensitivity, especially if overweight or obese.
Detailed Medical Explanation
Excess weight, especially central obesity, impairs circulation and increases inflammation, which can reduce sexual sensation and function. Weight loss achieved through a balanced diet and regular exercise helps optimise vascular and nerve health. NHS: Healthy weight.
Clinical Context
Losing weight can improve confidence, sexual response, and pelvic floor strength for many women.
Evidence-Based Approaches
NHS and NICE recommend healthy weight as a cornerstone for sexual and pelvic wellbeing (NICE CKS).
