Menopause Sex - Duty or Pleasure
Menopause sex for many women is nothing more then another responsibility they have to deal with in life. They rarely consider the connection between menopause and their sex lives. Although Hollywood portrays sex as the ultimate fulfillment for everyone, regardless of age or physical condition, this image isn't very realistic. In actual fact, as we grow older, the hormonal changes in our bodies can produce problems in our sexual relationships that are totally unrelated to our social and spiritual intimacies. But when these problems are ignored, they will usually affect our relationships over time whether we want them to or not. If your sexual relations with your husband are nothing more then a duty, eventually it will have an impact on your overall marriage. So rather than ignoring the problem, it is far better to find menopause natural remedies so you can have the pleasure in sex that God intended.
Symptoms that Affect Menopause Sex
The first symptom that can affect menopause sex is called vaginal atrophy. For all the details see the preceding page. This condition is also known as urogenital atrophy. It is caused by either a hormonal imbalance in our bodies, or by low estrogen levels. However the condition is usually easily remedied by balancing your hormones by using a natural progesterone cream. For many women balancing their hormone levels this way completely resolves these problems. However, if the vaginal atrophy doesn't disappear after you've balanced your hormones, the next step is to see a doctor who will prescribe an estriol cream. Estriol is the weakest of the estrogens made in our bodies, and instead of promoting female cancers, as the other two are suspected of doing, it seems to protect against them.
I Could Care Less...
If this is your attitude toward sex, you may well think only men are interested in sex their whole lives, but you have probably failed to consider the effect menopause may be having on your sex life.However, a lack of sexual desire, or libido, is the other major problem that affects our sexual relationship after menopause. As with the problem of vaginal atrophy, frequently the easiest way to fix it is by adding a natural progesterone cream to your supplements. By balancing your hormones your libido will usually return to normal on its own. If it doesn't, you should be tested for low testosterone levels. Although we think of testosterone as a male hormone, women also need some of it in our bodies, and if we don't have enough, we'll have no libido, leaving our sexual relationship a chore.
Conclusions
If you're not sure you want to take my advice on this, please at least take the time to research it further. What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Menopause (TM): The Breakthrough Book on Natural Hormone Balance is a book written by two doctors who specialize in helping women overcome health challenges. They provide far greater detail then I've done here. The book is available from Amazon by clicking the preceding link, or you could probably get it from your public library within a month's time. Natural progesterone cream is readily available without a prescription. Visit the natural progesterone cream page for all the details and several reliable sources. If you need to supplement estriol, or testosterone, you will need to see a doctor. Just be sure that you get a prescription for bio-identical hormones, not the synthetic kind. They don't work the same way, and none of the synthetic hormones are good for you. Most of the bad things you've heard about hormone therapy actually refer to using synthetic hormones, not the natural kind. There is a big difference. Menopause sex can be a pleasure, not a duty. Don't settle for second best because it takes a little effort to overcome the problems. Pleasurable, fulfilling sex after menopause is well worth the effort.
