Sex Life after Menopause

• Emotional well-being of women- Emotional state of women is an important influencing factor in post-menopause sex life. If a woman is constantly worried about looks of her body, the state of mind can have negative influence on her sex drive. During menopause women experience mood swings but post menopause majority of women report to have more fun in their daily activities. Almost all the women report to be experiencing greater sense of independence.  If you are facing emotional distress even after the menopause period then it is advisable to take medical assisstance in postmenopause phase as well.

• Physical well-being of women- It is only small percentage of women that report to have reduced sexual drive due to physical changes during menopause. For instance, vaginal dryness can make sex an uncomfortable experience. This is so because lower estrogen level decreases blood supply to vagina causing low vaginal lubrication. The physical health concerns can also significantly hamper the sexual desire of women. Lowered levels of progesterone, estrogen and testosterone are one of the reasons of decreased sexual drive (libido).
