Menopause Does Not Have to Mean the End of Your Intimate Relations!
Hormone replacement therapy is just one way that menopausal women can continue to enjoy a healthy and happy sex life. Here are three more tips for maintaining intimacy before, during, and after menopause.
Use of Lubricants
Due to the hormonal changes of menopause, it can often be the first time in a woman’s life that she starts to feel pain or discomfort upon intercourse. Lubricants can help.
There are a number of lubricants that can help but first, you need to determine which is best for you. After menopause, circulating levels of estrogen and testosterone in the body decrease. This can lead to vaginal atrophy (thinning of the vaginal tissue), irritation, swelling and dryness, loss of libido, and other issues with intimacy.
While the above tips can help, all of the sexual health issues – collectively known as female sexual dysfunction – are caused by the drop in hormones that occurs just before and during menopause – and therefore, the best tip we can give you to resolve them is to consider hormone replacement therapy or HRT.

“I have been married for over 30 years, and intimacy between my husband and me was never a problem. But when I hit menopause, that all changed. I just literally stopped enjoying making love. My husband was understanding, but I could tell it was putting a major strain on our marriage. The best move I made was to come to Woodlands. Now I look great, I feel great, and “date nights” are better than ever!
