How Menopause can Decrease Sexual Desire for Women over 50*

There are some significant changes that take place in a woman’s life. One of them is menopause. This marks the end of her ability to conceive a child. There will be no more menstrual cycles once the woman is in complete menopause. Yet it can take years to go from the start of menopause to completely finishing it. Most women start the process around 45 and finish around 60. It can be sooner or later though as each

woman is different.

There is a common misconception that women who have gone through menopause no longer have any sexual desire. They may continue to engage in the activity to keep their partner happy, but they don’t get any pleasure out of it. This is certainly not the truth though.

Many women over the age of 50 are involved in very fulfilling sexual relationships. They love not having to worry about their period. They also don’t have to worry about an unwanted pregnancy very late in life. This new found freedom for them means they are able to fully focus on the act of sexual activity and not the various

repercussions of it.

Some women do experience a drop in their sexual desire though after menopause. Many women experience problems with the vagina being dry after menopause. This can make it hard for them to get pleasure out of sexual activity. There are some great products on the market though that will allow you to moisturize the vagina without any negative side effects.

It is a good idea for a woman with such issues to see a gynecologist for a complete evaluation though. They may be able to help come up with a natural remedy that can prevent ongoing issues having to be addressed with it. For many women, dealing with vaginal dryness can cause a mental block with sexual intercourse.

They may connect it with being undesirable now that they are in their 50’s. This low self-confidence can cause women to shy away from sexual intercourse as well. Being able to really enjoy your body and your sexual desires when you are over 50 is very important. It will encourage you to do what you can to be able to bring back a high level of sexual desire to your life.

Sometimes something over the counter though isn’t enough for a woman to get back the sexual desire she once had. Your doctor may offer you supplements of hormones in the form of estrogen. Since the level of it in the body drops dramatically due to menopause, replacing it definitely can be helpful.

Menopause doesn’t have to hinder your sex life though for women over 50 years of age. If you enjoy sex and you want to continue doing so, there are remedies out there that can help. Don’t be embarrassed to discuss the issue with your doctor either. They deal with such issues all the time. They will know how to help you get

back to where you want to be sexually.

For many older couples, menopause can throw a wrench into what was once a very enjoyable part of their intimate relationship. It is important to discuss what has taken place. A woman doesn’t want her partner to assume the lack of sexual responsiveness has anything to do with them not being attractive anymore. Find a

good solution that works for you so that menopause won’t stop you from engaging your sexual relationship.
