Sexual Problems After Menopause
What Are They?
During menopause, women's hormone levels change. These changes can sometimes lead to sexual problems, which may include the following:
Vaginal dryness: During menopause, the vaginal wall becomes thinner and less lubricated, which can cause vaginal dryness. This can lead to discomfort or pain during intercourse.
Low sexual desire: During menopause, changes in hormone levels can lead to a loss of sexual desire.
Orgasm disorder: During menopause, changes in hormone levels can lead to orgasm disorders. Orgasms may become less frequent.
Vaginal bleeding: During menopause, hormonal changes can increase the risk of bleeding in the vagina.
