Don’t Let Menopause Steal Your ‘Sexy’

It’s an inevitable fact of life: every woman will experience menopause. The mere thought can make any woman feel disheartened. Overstated portrayals found on social media, television and in movies paint a very grim picture, perpetuating the myth that menopause is the end of all things pleasurable, including and especially sex. While this stage in the lifecycle may distinctly mark the end of a woman’s fertile years, it is not the end of a woman’s sex life.

In fact, research has shown that women in their 40s, 50s and beyond report enjoying the most intimate and pleasurable years of their sex lives during these decades. How is this possible? It’s about finding balance and talking to your doctor.

Declining levels of estrogen, progesterone and testosterone before, during and after menopause can lead to a number of symptoms that affect sexual health in women including vaginal dryness, loss of sensation, pain with intercourse, weight gain and even a complete disinterest in sex. Many women will accept these symptoms without question, brushing aside hope for a better quality of life and never asking a doctor if there is anything that can be done. The result is devastating to a woman’s esteem and, in some cases, her relationships.

Get Your Sexy Back

The truth is, you don’t have to live with sexual dysfunction or other uncomfortable symptoms, such as hot flashes and mood swings. Low levels of estrogen, progesterone and testosterone are directly linked to lubrication, sexual desire, arousal, and orgasm in women. Restoring hormone balance through bioidentical hormone therapy can bring relief from menopausal symptoms and improve sexual health, including:

• Increased lubrication
• Enhanced sensation
• Increased desire for sex
• Improved body composition
• Stabilized moods
