"Since the menopause, I've had sex with my husband, but it's been hard for me, but I've kept it to myself for his sake."

"I've been using a lot of lubricants and foreplay, but I can't seem to feel the pleasure I used to feel. I still can't feel the pleasure I used to feel ......"

"I'm really not interested in that stuff when I'm about the same age."

Why do most women become reluctant to have a conjugal life after menopause? Is there any way to deal with this?

Menopause is something every woman will experience. However, a study has found that women who experience premature menopause have an increased risk of cardiovascular disease.

Menopause is the permanent cessation of menstruation, which is defined by the WHO as when a woman has not had a menstrual period for 12 consecutive months, excluding clear pathologic or physiologic causes.

According to statistics, the age of menopause has basically stabilized at around 50 years old worldwide, while the average age of menopause for women in China is 49.5 years old.

Based on the time of menopause, it is generally divided into four stages:

Actually, when a woman goes through menopause is mainly determined by genes. In addition, acquired reasons, such as too poor diet, mental stress, suffering from immune system diseases, as well as experiencing a bone marrow transplant, ovarian tumor radiotherapy, etc., may accelerate the arrival of menopause.

Recently, a recent study found that premature menopause may increase the risk of dementia.

The findings, from the team of Professor Tang Yamei of the Department of Neurology at Sun Yat-Sen Memorial Hospital, were based on data from women who were menopausal without cognitive impairment or dementia between 2006 and 2010, and were followed up for 12.3 years, and the results found that, compared with menopause at age ≥50 years:

1) Those with menopause age of 40-49 years were at a 21% increased risk of all-cause dementia;

(ii) A 71% increased risk of all-cause dementia in those aged <40 years at menopause.

It is important to note that delayed menopause also carries health risks. menopause after 55 years of age is late menopause, and parts of the body such as the mammary glands and endometrium are more sensitive to estrogen, and late menopause may increase the risk of cancer.

Menopause or female menopause is a physiological phenomenon, but at this stage, many women will appear to be different.

Hot flashes and night sweats, joint and muscle aches and pains, poor sleep, vaginal dryness, and discomfort in coitus are common during menopause, but if it affects the quality of life and work status, it is not a normal physiological change, but menopause syndrome.

But the menopause is not necessarily all bad, the following health problems or can leave you far away --

1, uterine fibroids

Uterine fibroids are caused by the proliferation of smooth muscle cells, is the most common benign tumors of the female genitalia.

Currently, there is no clear cause of uterine fibroids, but it is generally believed that uterine fibroids are sex hormone-dependent tumors, which occur in the reproductive age and are related to the sex hormones in the female body, but often after menopause the fibroids will stop growing or even shrink.

2, endometriosis

Endometriosis refers to the appearance of endometrial tissues in parts other than the body of the uterus, growth, infiltration, recurrent hemorrhage, and formation of nodules and masses. The condition can invade any part of the body, with the ovaries and uterosacral ligaments being the most common.

Prevalent in women of childbearing age, it is a hormone-dependent disease that is less common in adolescent and postmenopausal women, and some women even improve after menopause.

Published in Society Open Science, a study of 2,936 women found that women who have sex weekly are 28% less likely to experience menopause earlier than women who have sex less than once a month; women who have sex at least once a month are 19% less likely to experience jingju menopause than women who have sex less than once a month.

In addition, appropriate, pleasurable sex can also improve immunity, stress resistance, reduce the risk of heart disease as well as relieve a variety of body aches and pains.

However, when a woman enters menstruation, she faces low libido, no sexual arousal response and no orgasm, which is also known as dyspareunia, and the likelihood of it occurring is positively correlated with age.

The reason for this is due to the decline of hormones in a woman's body. As we age, the ovaries gradually go into aging and there is a lack of estrogen, so many women experience low libido, hot flashes and vaginal dryness, and pain during intercourse can become noticeable.

Estrogen is an important hormone that maintains female sexuality and a range of physiological changes, and it plays a role in lubrication by helping to increase the production of cervical mucus when couples snap.

Faced with the difficulty of sexual intercourse against menopause, you can try menopausal hormone therapy for improvement.

Of course, husbands also need to understand that the wife in the special period, there may be physiological and psychological changes, cohabitants should not be too anxious, the foreplay of the caress is very important, through the foreplay of the kiss, embrace, you can make the snap smoother.
