WHAT MY MOTHER NEVER TOLD ME ABOUT MENOPAUSE:
Its geat to read other womans stories about their experience of menopause. I recently (past 4 months) noticed I was getting hot flushes which have coincided with my periods stopping. I have also noticed that I now have difficulty achieving an orgasm.
I knew the hot flushes & loss of periods were associated with menopause, but was not prepared for the changes in my sexual function. It was only in doing some research about changes in sexual responsivness that I started to understand the link betweeen menopause & changes in sexual function. This is the part about menopause that my mother never told me.
Suddenly I became acutely aware of how little I actually knew about this very important stage of my life. I've since began reading & learning more about what to expect during & after menopause. Its not all doom & gloom, & reading other women's experiences has been very reassuring. This journey, although uniquley mine, is being shared by millions of other women throughout the world.
Finally, I discovered tonight that the changes in sexual function that I am experiencing can probably be treated. So I'm off to have a chat to my GP about it. So will keep you posted about how I get on.
