Menopause and Sex Drive

A normal, healthy sex drive is reduced dramatically by a low estrogen level. This will cause a decreased interest in sex. The most important factors that influence woman's libido at menopause are:

• Vaginal dryness - one of the top ten menopause symptoms.
  
• Insomnia - sleep helps your body regenerate and heal, improving your libido.
  
• High levels of stress, depression and anxiety.
  
• Poor diet - a healthy diet affects performance during any exercise, and that includes sexual performance and natural male enhancement.

  
  

• Lack of exercise - regular exercise improves your overall health.

Vaginal Dryness

Vaginal dryness is actually one of the top ten menopause symptoms. Nearly half of all women between the ages of 40 and 59 suffer from vaginal dryness at some point.

The main cause of vaginal dryness is the loss of estrogen. Low levels of estrogen cause a decrease in the blood supply to the vagina, which will affect the vaginal lubrication. The vagina will be too dry for comfortable intercourse. The tissues lining the vagina and urethra (the opening to the bladder) become drier, thinner and less elastic. This will cause burning or itching, and an increased risk of infections of the urinary tract or vagina.

Although vaginal dryness at menopause is so common, it is not inevitable. There are some simple steps you can take to improve your natural vaginal lubrication.

• One simple step is to get hydrated. Drink plenty of water, at least 8 glasses a day, you'll be surprised of the results.
  
  
• Pay attention to your personal hygiene, check the chemicals in your personal bath products and laundry detergent. Many of those chemicals are irritants to the delicate tissues that line the vagina.
  
  
• Try a personal lubricant. Some women achieve immediate relief from vaginal dryness and irritation simply by using a personal lubricant, like K-Y Sensual Silk Lubricant.

Proper Diet and Exercise

Follow a hormone-balancing diet. Use my list of foods that will give your body the support it needs to balance your hormones. Take your vitamins and minerals; no matter how well you eat, you need Calcium, Magnesium and other supplements.

Regular exercise helps you alleviate stress. Don't let a sedentary life style ruin your sex drive. Start by walking and try my meditation technique.

The lack of sex drive can also be a signal of unsolved problems in a relationship. There is no other better solution for this problem than communicating with your partner.

Sexual problems can be very difficult to discuss with a third person, like your doctor, counselor or therapist, though their methods can be very effective. Increasing the intimacy with your partner is the key.

Being intimate doesn't always mean having sex, love can be expressed in many ways. Spending time together, enjoying each others company, taking long romantic walks or getting a sensual massage, these are real solutions for improving the sex drive at menopause. Any activity that promotes the comfort and communication with your partner is welcome. A back rub or sharing a fantasy, as well as music, scented candles, a warm bath before intercourse to help you relax, any of these methods will eliminate your menopausal anxieties.
