Menopause and Libido
ByLoss of Libido is common after Menopause. 43% of all post-menopausal women complain of decreased libido.
Why? What are the causes of low libido. Just like weight gain people want to point to HORMONES! They are to blame sometimes.
But really, hormones i.e. estrogen, testosterone, thyroid are small players in this game.
Larger issues are:
- the quality of your relationship
- Family Teaching
- Cultural Beliefs
- Psycho-social issues like – your health, if you have a partner, if you are in pain, if you have sufficient energy

Hi Anne,
It’s always good to know that there’s something to be done besides just take medicine.
I always thought that it’s a matter of age. Now I know more.
Surprisingly to younger folks, many a couple “up in years” continue to enjoy active
and healthy sex lives. Many things change but they do not have to stop or disappear!
I believe it does make a difference when it comes tothe quality of your relationship.
We all know that when we have good relationships with our partner anything can be worked through and a solution found.
Keep up the good work of letting us women learn more about our bodies.
Thanks,
Debbie
You are so right Debbie,
a relationship with good communication and trust can help to
overcome many issues, including sex!
Dear Anne -
As usual, you provide such essential information for women.
So many do not discuss this. So, you do it for them.
Thank you for all your help. You are a national treasure.
Thank you Corinne,
Many women come to me distressed and they are often very
reassured by just discussing the situation. Talk is so important
when you are experiencing a problem or issue.
