According to midwife, Angela Jones, MD, wet vagina is generally caused by an increase in sex drive.

“The vagina will enlarge when a woman feels sexual arousal. This is due to increased blood flow to the vaginal area which will promote lubrication,” Angela told health. com.

Angela also added that estrogen replacement therapy in menopausal women, used to treat vaginal dryness, also increases the moisture in this sensitive area.

What if a woman’s vagina is too wet?

The level of vaginal wetness varies for each woman. There are those who have normal wetness, there are also those who feel that their vagina is too muddy or wet.

The condition of a woman’s vaginal wetness also changes due to hormone levels and fluctuations or fluctuations. Thus, it can be said that the vagina is too muddy to be a normal condition.

Angela said vaginal wetness can build up to feel too muddy when a woman is near ovulation, or the process in which a mature egg is released into the uterus.

During ovulation, vaginal fluids tend to have a thinner consistency, making the female area wetter or muddy.
