There will be a little variation with age, weight and having vaginal childbirth with or without an episiotomy, so lets work from there. The space between the opening to the vagina and anus which is the opening to the rectum is around 2 cm and 2.5 cm in a young woman of normal weight. Fast forward 20 years, have a couple of babies via vaginal child birth and put on 20 lbs and the difference may have stretched to a saggier 3.5 cm. There are multiple reasons this happens. As we age we lose muscle tone, during childbirth the muscles stretch, and sometimes the muscle is torn or cut and there is always our old friend gravity.

On the insides there is just a thin muscle wall between the vagina and the rectum. This actually can become thinner as we age due to having less hormones causing the tissue to become more delicate. and again it all comes down muscle tone.

How to prevent this: practice your Kegel exercise, starting while you are young and never stop. The other and just as important is to keep your abdominal muscles in the best shape possible. Either thru yoga, or whatever exercise you are comfortable with that works on maintaining your posture thru abdominal work.
