It?s the topic that we wait to quietly discuss until behind closed doors. Sure, we are open to talk about the hot flashes and mood swings that are such a staple of menopause, but what about?you know?your sex drive?
First of all, you should know that about 20 percent of adult women will experience hypoactive sexual desire during and after menopause. This is the complete cessation of sexual interest. In some women this is marked by a mild lack of interest in sexual activities, while in others it sets on more severely and sex becomes something distasteful and dreaded. This change of spirit regarding intercourse can be damaging to relationships, and causes a great deal of emotional distress among the millions of women who quietly try to understand their changed romantic desires.
The Science behind Reduced Desire
Menopause is a time of drastic hormonal changes. In women, the ovaries cease making hormones like estrogen and testosterone as the body ages. Estrogen is responsible for bone formation and strength, developing female sexual characteristics and accelerating the metabolism. This is why bone fractures and weight gain are also common threats among menopausal women. During menopause, reduced estrogen levels can cause the female sexual organs to lose their plasticity and malleability?often leading to dryness and irritation, especially during and after intercourse.
Low testosterone is known for affecting the sex drive of men as they age, but it has the same effect on women?even though it is generally present in smaller quantities.
Reduced mental desire for sex is often coupled with uncomfortable symptoms that can make intercourse unpleasant?like vaginal dryness, fatigue and poor self-image thanks to menopausal weight gain. The good news is that treatment for hypoactive sexual desire is actually the same form of antiaging used to address other symptoms of menopause: bioidentical hormone replacement therapy.
BHRT works by restoring depleted levels of testosterone and estrogen, thereby relieving the symptoms prompted by decreased hormone levels. In addition to increasing energy levels, boosting weight loss efforts and improving bone strength, BHRT can help women regain their sex drive.
Menopause marks the end of fertility, but that doesn?t need to mean the end of romance. When it comes to a lack of sexual desire, remember: it?s not you?it?s nature that is causing the problem. Antiaging can help you regain your sex drive, and help make intercourse enjoyable again.
