Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic

There are surgical repair methods that are presently available to tighten the vaginal area if this is what you desire.
You may want to consider visiting your doctor to determine if there are any surgeons in your area that perform this procedure.

In terms of the low sex drive you can also try other methods such as : (1) you can use a lubricant to help with the dryness
(2) consider the application of estrogen vaginal cream , this would soothe the vaginal walls, affect secretions and possibly increase desire
(3) consider blood tests for thyroid function and anemia which can affect desire
(4) screen for depression
(5) consider the application of local vitamin e but puncturing a capsule and placing it in the vaginal area a few times a week, this rehydrates the vagina
(6)taking b complex vitamins which have been shown to improve sex drive

I hope this helps
