Vagina· Vagina have contractures, length and width of the vagina experiencing downsizing.· Fornises be shallow, so are no longer cervix protrudes into the vagina. Since the climacteric, the vagina gradually undergo atrophy, although the woman has never given birth. Sex glands shrink and stop functioning ¬. Genital mucosal thinning as well as sub-mucosal tissue no longer maintain its elasticity due to fibrosis ¬.· These changes are to some extent influenced by sustainability ¬ langsungan coitus, meaning that the longer they are carried out less sedimentation rate or diminution of the external genitalia.2. UterusAfter klimaterium uterine atrophy, penile length and wall thinning, myometrium and become a little more fibrotic tissue. Cervical shrink not prominent, even after a long time will be evenly distributed to the network wall.
 
3. OvaryAfter menopause, the egg size decreases and the surface becomes "wrinkles" as a result of atrophy of the medulla, is not a result of previous repeated ovulation, the ovarian surface becomes flat again like a child because there is no follicle.

ProstateProstate enlargement is a frequent occurrence in older men, the symptoms are due to enlargement of the mechanical effect of medial lobe which then, as if acting as a ball-shaped valve (Ball Valve Effect). Besides, there is a dynamic effect on the smooth muscle which is 40% of the components of the gland, capsule and bladder neck, under the influence of the smooth muscle alpha-adrenergic system. Incidence of microscopic nodules ¬ kopik've seen at the age of 25-30 years and present in 60% of men aged 60 years, 90% in men aged 85 years, but only 50% are being BPH Macroscopic and of that only 50% developed into clinical BPH cause medical problems.Dehidrosteron levels in the elderly increased due to increased enzyme 5 alpha reductase that mengkonfersi tetosteron be dehidro steron. It is considered to be the driving gland hyperplasia, muscle and prostate stroma. Actually, other than the aging process contributes onset of androgen stimulation is proved BPH in men who in castration before puberty will not suffer from BPH in the elderly.2. TestisAging in men does not cause a reduction in the size and weight of the testes, but the cells that produce and nourish (Leydic cells) reduced the number of sperm and sperm activity that is reduced to 50% and also decreased testosterone.
