What causes a womans vagina to tighten?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Atrophy: When a woman is in or near to menopause, the amount of estrogen in her system decreases. Estrogen helps with vaginal lubrication and elasticity. The loss of estrogen can make the vaginal tissues dry and to shrink some.
