Can yoga improve vaginal nerve sensitivity?
Yoga may help improve pelvic floor strength, blood flow, and relaxation, which could support overall vaginal health, but evidence for direct improvement in nerve sensitivity is limited.
Detailed Medical Explanation
Yoga practices, including pelvic floor exercises and mindful movement, can enhance circulation, flexibility, and awareness in the pelvic region. While these benefits may indirectly support nerve function, there is no direct clinical evidence that yoga alone restores lost vaginal sensation. However, it may help with relaxation, reduce stress, and improve sexual wellbeing. NHS: Yoga health benefits.
Clinical Context
Yoga can be part of a holistic approach to pelvic health, especially for women with mild symptoms or seeking gentle, supportive movement.
Evidence-Based Approaches
NHS encourages yoga and physical activity for general wellbeing and pelvic floor health (NICE CKS).
