Hi, Anon, and thank you for your question.

What you're experiencing is very very common in women after menopause.

Can I ask if you are on any hormone replacement therapy (HRT)? Have you mentioned your loss of libido to your doctor?

Here's an Empowher video by Dr. Margaret Christensen, an ob/gyn with interests in complementary medicine as well:

And here's an article from Discovery Health on reclaiming lost libido; it does a great job of going into the multiple and complicated reasons that this can happen:
