Yes, there is sex after menopause 🙌 SherylKingsberg – HealthyWomen’s Women’s Health Advisory Council member – tells you everything you need to know to keep your SexLife high on your priority list.
“Women of all ages want to and can remain sexually satisfied well into old age,” says Dr. Sheryl Kingsberg, Ph.D., a member of the HealthyWomen Women’s Health Advisory Council. She notes that while reproductive life may be over with menopause, sexual life can still thrive.— the time after a woman’s menstrual periods permanently stop and she can no longer get pregnant — the body makes less of the reproductive hormones, estrogen and progesterone.Dr.
“It’s not just the vagina. The whole urogenital tract is impacted by that loss of estrogen,” she says. “The tissue in the vulva, without estrogen, loses elasticity. The vagina itself can narrow, the tissue becomes thin and kind of dry, and it can easily get injured. That makes sex very painful.” “Women may not realize, ‘oh, this is about menopause. Maybe I should talk to my gynecologist or my primary care provider about this,’” she says. “Often they will suffer in silence, not even knowing because we don’t talk about it enough.”
