During menopause, a serious restructuring takes place in a woman’s body, which can affect overall well-being, causing a number of unpleasant symptoms, including in the intimate area. The good news is that you can handle it and you don’t have to deny yourself sex. We analyze at least 4 reasons – why.
Sex improves mood and well-being
It’s no secret that intimacy and orgasm have a positive effect on mood, help relieve stress, and even have an analgesic effect. In addition, it is both excellent physical activity and the prevention of vascular diseases. Why is there less sex in a woman’s life with age, especially after menopause? The reasons can be divided into two groups:
- Psychological: Age-related changes can affect a woman’s self-esteem. It may seem to her that she is no longer so beautiful and attractive. However, men see us with completely different eyes and love us as a whole, and not for a toned belly or forehead without wrinkles. At any age, and especially during the period of hormonal changes, it is very important to maintain health and take good care of yourself. Perhaps with the help of a psychologist and / or with a partner. Don’t be afraid to ask for help, as it will help you feel better.
- Physiological: a decrease in hormone levels affects the entire body, in which a real restructuring takes place. This can be accompanied by rather unpleasant sensations (hot flashes, weakness, decreased mood, insomnia, etc.), and these sensations can also occur in the intimate area. However, they can be dealt with, and here we move on to reason # 2.
No need to endure discomfort
During menopause, dryness and discomfort can be felt in the intimate area, and sometimes painful sensations appear during intercourse. These symptoms should not be tolerated, but you should immediately contact a specialist – preferably a gynecologist who has been observing you for several years. A good doctor will work hard to help solve the problem and bring the comfortable and painless joy of healthy sex back to life. As a result of the examination, the gynecologist can prescribe a suitable treatment – in each case, individual.
Now there are many tools to help cope with menopausal manifestations. For example, “Ovestin” is a local preparation in the form of suppositories and cream that helps to make up for estrogen deficiency. The tool comes into contact only with the intimate area, therefore it acts locally and does not have a systemic effect on the body. “Ovestin” can help normalize urination and restore normal microflora, increasing the resistance of epithelial cells of the genitourinary tract to infection and inflammation. Thus, it can help reduce soreness during intercourse and vaginal dryness and discomfort.
