Are you in your 20s or are you hoping to be in your 20s soon? There are certain changes that would happen to your body during your 20s so it’s really nice to know about these changes so you don’t freak out when you notice them.
Below are 9 changes that occur in a woman’s body during her 20s
1. YOU GET A LITTLE CURVIER
Most women would get a little curvier during their 20s as they begin to have an increase in fat distribution in their hips, thighs and bust region. The increase in these regions would occur irrespective of diet and exercise and the increase occurs due to metabolic changes, weight gain, and hormonal changes.
2. YOUR PERIODS BECOME MORE REGULAR
Some women might have periods that are random and unpredictable during their teen years but this would change during their 20s as they become less random and unpredictable. Your periods become more regular because you are at your peak fertility potential.
3. YOUR DESIRE TO HAVE SEX INCREASES
During your 20s, your desire to have sex would be at an all-time high. Do not worry about your high sex desire during your 20s as this is pretty normal. This is no excuse to start having random sex though.
4. YOUR VULVA BECOMES SLIMMER
Most women would see their vulva lose weight and get slimmer during their 20s. Do not worry if this would affect you sexually because it won’t affect your ability to lubricate and your vaginal muscles too.
5. YOUR MENSTRUAL CRAMP BECOMES EVEN MORE PAINFUL
Your menstrual cramp would be more painful during your 20s when compared to your teen years because the hormone prostaglandin would be at its highest level of production in your 20s.
6. YOU MIGHT HAVE MORE ACNE
During your 20s, you might struggle with even more acne than you had to contend with during your teen years. This is because during your 20s, you would have an increase in estrogen and progesterone around your menstrual cycle, which could cause acne. Most women would also wear more makeup during their 20s and this might also cause even more acne. This is another reason why you should take your skin care even more seriously during your 20s.
7. YOUR BONE STRENGTH INCREASES
During your 20s, your bone strength would increase so ensure you get enough calcium and vitamin D as this would help stimulate growth of bone cells. You would lose bone mass faster when you hit menopause so it’s really important you have a good amount of bone mass stored up now.
8. YOU WOULD NOTICE CHANGES IN YOUR NIPPLES
During your 20s, you might notice changes in your nipples as your areolae can start looking larger and darker than it did before. Do not worry when you notice this because it is absolutely normal.
9. YOU WOULD ADD MORE WEIGHT
During your 20s, your weight would continue to increase annually due to an increase in body fat. It’s so normal to see your weight increase during your 20s but it’s also important you watch the increase so you don’t get overweight.
Enjoy your 20s.
