What Impact Does Menopause Have On Sex?
What to do with sex when your periods stop
Today we gonna talk about menopause and its impact on sex.
We’ve recently conducted a survey, and more than 60% of women answered that during and after menopause, their sex life became worse. And this is not surprising. There are several reasons for that:
- a drop in estrogen levels and the problems accompanying this drop: a general deterioration in well-being, lower libido, and dryness in the vagina. According to the journal Endocrinology and Metabolism Clinics of North America, various sexual dysfunctions accompany menopause in 88% of cases
- body changes that cause mental problems and blocks of sexuality. If you don’t accept your body, you don’t accept if it starts to change. As a result, your sex life becomes less enjoyable. No acceptance = no pleasure.
- prolapse of the pelvic organs. For this reason, you can experience involuntary urination and feel uncomfortable during sex.
- psychologically difficult life situations that very often coincide with menopause: children leaving home, divorce, career changes.

What to do? Don't take the situation for granted. According to the Study of Women's Health Across the Nation, 76% of middle-aged women (in the US and Europe the average age is just over 40) consider their sexual health and pleasure an important part of life.

It is important to go to an endocrinologist and keep the situation under control. There is no evidence of a direct influence of estrogen therapy on improved sex life. However, it is clear that the better you feel physically, the better sex will be.
You may also need a psychotherapist. Menopause is like a second transitional age. A good specialist will help you accept your body and love yourself.
In terms of physical activity, what can really help you when you face menopause is training intimate muscles and having any activity that brings joy. Good emotional condition helps to reduce the symptoms.
What else? A good lubricant, thick and viscous enough to provide long-lasting glide. Arousing or stimulating gel to make it easier to have arousal and achieve orgasm. You can also use a non-contact clitoral stimulator, if you don’t like this season to be touched.
And most importantly, listen to yourself!
