How will menopause affect my sex life?
A change in sexual interest or response is often a complaint from women after menopause. Some women suffer from vaginal dryness and pain with intercourse. Lubricants or vaginal moisturizers may help. Estrogen therapies, whether administered via pill, patch or vaginal method, are very effective for restoring normal vaginal tissue and curing pain with intercourse. It is strongly advised that you not continue having intercourse that is painful.
Some women also notice a decrease in sex drive. It is important to remember there is no 'normal' frequency for partners to have sex. As long as there is no conflict in your relationship regarding sexual frequency, it should not be a huge concern.
Talk to your doctor about your symptoms, especially if they are causing problems with your relationship.
