5. Lower Sex Drive
There are two main reasons why you may have a lower sex drive. Firstly, how could you be in the mood for sex while you experiencing menopause symptoms like night sweats, moodiness, breast tenderness, sleeping troubles and fatigue? Secondly, declining hormone levels cause changes in your body – many women experience vaginal dryness, atrophy (shrinkage), sensitivity, pain and difficultly becoming aroused.
Tips for spicing up your sex life:
- Make sex a priority and plan to have it on a regular basis; this will help your vagina to stay in shape and improve symptoms.
- Seek treatment for vaginal dryness – you can also use lubricants or coconut oil.
- Consider going to couple therapy work on your relationship. Low sex drive may be a sign of relationship problems as well, not just your hormones.
- Explore intimacy and other sides of sex, not just the physical aspect; being close to your partner, cuddling and kissing can all boost sex drive.
