How Deep is the Vagina? Urologist Explains Average Vaginal Size (not as big as you think!)

everyone always talks about how long the penis is but have you ever wondered what is the average vaginal length I'm Dr Reena mik urologist and pelvic surgeon and today we're going to talk all about average vaginal length now on this channel you've heard me talk about the average penal length now when you take studies looking at either erect penal length or stretched penal length which is a surrogate of erections you find that the average panal length around the world is 5.4 in with 95% of men having penises ranging from 4.2 to 6.7 in yes 6.7 Ines and 99.7% of men have penises shorter than 7.3 in so in order for men to be able to fully penetrate women the vaginal size needs to be able to accommodate that erect penile length so you may wonder what is the average size of the vagina now let's start by telling us what the research tells us about average vaginal Dimensions now several studies have examined this in detail a study published in the international Euro Gynecology Journal looked at MRI scans of 80 healthy women and then they measured vaginal dimensions and they found that the average vaginal length was 9.8 CM or 3.9 in and it ranged from 5 to 14 cm or 2 to 5.7 in now before you go whoo that is much smaller than I thought it was I want you to realize that during arousal the vaginal length and width also increase so they may nearly double in size to accommodate the erect penal length now vaginal width was measured also in the study and interestingly it was different depending on where in the vagina you measured it meaning at the opening it was more narrow and as you got closer to the cervix it became wider so on average at the opening it was 17 mm or 0.6 in and it increased to 45 mm or 1.8 in closest to the cervix and that could range from anywhere from 9 mm at the smallest near the opening to 81 mm at the widest or 3.2 in now another study in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology looked at 3,200 women who were already going to a pelvic floor clinic and they found the exact same average vaginal length of 9 .4 CM or 3.7 in another study at Elizabeth Garrett Anderson Hospital in London took these measurements in 50 premenopausal women and found the average vaginal length about 9.6 cm or 3.8 in and it ranged from 2.6 to 4.9 in uh in the study and lastly a study again published in the international Euro Gynecology Journal looked at sexual function in over 500 women and part of that study they also did measurements and the average vaginal length there was 9.1 CM for sexually active women and 8.9 CM for those who were not sexually active which ranged anywhere from 5 to 13 cm or 2 to 5.1 in but bottom line research on average vaginal length is 9 to 10 cm with a really wide normal range anywhere from 6.5 to 12.5 cm of course it's important to realize that the vagina is wider near the top of the cervix and smaller near the opening now many of you know that the vagina changes during arousal because there's increased lubrication but as I mentioned earlier it also increases in size in terms of lengthening the vagina increases in length in a process called tenting the uterus and the cervix pull up and back which creates more space in the vaginal canal and this can add about 1 to 2 in to the vaginal length now there's also widening because the tissues of the vagina relax and expand allowing for more flexibility and potentially easier penetration now what affects vaginal length because a lot of people have misconceptions that certain things will make you looser Studies have found a few key things one is age so vaginal length does decrease by age by about 0.08 cm for every 10 years of age so very minimal but it does height and weight can affect it taller and heavier women tend to have slightly longer vaginas so for each 10 cm increase in height you see a 09 CM increase in vaginal length and menopause so being postmenopausal was linked to about a17 CM decrease in vaginal length and having a hysterctomy was associated with a 63 cm decrease in vaginal length on average and other pelvic surgeries also can change length and they saw that other pelvic reconstructive surgeries were linked to about a 0.22 CM decrease in vaginal length now while these factors do show differences these are really really minute differences and probably have no clinical significance on how sex feels or how comfortable sex can be for a female partner and over a lifetime the vagina May shorten by less than 1 cm due to aging so you may be wondering like okay why are some women then looser than others so yes the vagina can change because of laxity changes due to a variety of factors that I'm going to cover but no having more sex doesn't make the vagina loose and it's not going to make it more LAX however things like genetics neurologic conditions pelvic floor conditions or even hormonal status can affect the side size and elasticity of the V vaginal tissues and the looseness of the vagina most often it's due to what we call pelvic floor weakness um or neurologic or collagen disorders that lead to weak pelvic floor muscles and sometimes these can be treated with pelvic floor physical therapy to help strengthen those muscles or doing keegle exercises now the take-home point is that the normal range of vaginal length is really wide but average vaginal length is significantly smaller than average penal length and given that it's going to expand with arousal and requires time for arousal you're going to be able to have the average vaginal length and the average penal length be very comfortable enjoyable and pleasurable for the female partner and so there are factors of course like age height weight and menopause and prior surgeries that may affect vaginal length to a really small degree but these changes are probably not noticeable or even significant for most women having more Partners does not change vaginal length or size so I hope you guys found this interesting and helpful the most important take-home is that if you have an average penal length you will very easily be able to satisfy a female with average vaginal length now of course everyone is individual and some may have larger than average or longer than average vagin some may have shorter than average vaginas but at the bottom line is the majority of people will fit together and have great sex now if
