Symptoms of menopause

4. Loss of Libido:

Sex therapists claim that low libido is be a problem that should raise concerns only when it is perceived as a problem. According to Dr. Zussman it’s typically only in the framework of a relationship that it becomes a problem. “It’s when there is a discrepancy in desire between the person and the partner, or when people feel there’s something wrong with them because they have a low level of desire.”

Everyone can suffer from peaks and valleys in sexual desire, an ebb and flow in libido that could result from any of a variety of factors. From time to time, a hormonal imbalance or prescription medicine will sap sex drive. Of course there’s also a difference between sexual drive and sexual function.

5. Vaginal Dryness:

To put it simply it is a loss of the normal moist and soft feel of the lining of vaginal area which may be associated with itching and irritation. When a person’s Estrogen level decreases, her vaginal tissues become dry and less flexible. Sex starts to be uncomfortable, a woman may be more prone to infections, her vagina often feels itchy and becomes easily irritated.
