Week 8: Sexuality

Menopause can affect a woman’s sexual drive as lower estrogen levels can cause a decrease in blood supply to the vagina, reducing sensitivity and thereby making it difficult to become easily aroused. 

The eighth course in Menopause University explains why this happens and examines the many other reasons why you may experience a loss of libido.

In this session, you’ll learn why a strong libido is important, what you can do to get your sexual drive back if it has decreased, and whether it’s possible to have too much sex. 

You’ll also get an understanding of how hormonal changes play a role in sexual functionality, vaginal atrophy and how to get vaginal atrophy treatment without taking hormonal supplements.

At the end of the session, you will be able to judge whether or not your normal sex drive is being impacted by changes to your body, your medications or external factors like stress.  You’ll leave armed with the knowledge to reclaim your libido and start enjoying sex once again.
