Common Causes of Low Libido during Menopause

November 16, 2016 by Angie Macdonald 3 Comments

Couple in bed with low libido

Many women going through menopause battle with sexual changes which may range from vaginal dryness and pain during sex to difficulty achieving an orgasm. But by far the most distressing symptom is the loss of sexual desire. Low libido can impact your sense of self as well as your relationship with your partner.

Common Causes of Low Libido

While it’s very easy at this time of life to blame it all on the hormones, there are many other reasons why you may experience a loss of sexual desire, including stress, lack of sleep and medications. For women in particular, the brain is the most powerful sex organ, so it’s important to take into account what’s going on with you psychologically as well as physically.

The important thing to remember is that low libido doesn’t have to be permanent and there are plenty of solutions out there once you have isolated the cause. It is also possible to enjoy a satisfying sex life throughout your life so long as you address any problems as and when they arise.

This infographic from http://www.xsandos.net, a sexual health and wellness website for the over 50s, provides a great overview of the different issues and options involved in identifying the causes and treatment of low libido. I hope you find it useful.

    It almost seems I can count on one hand or two at most, the times in life I have felt sexual desire for another person, it’s not never, but it’s barely ever. Now in perimenopause I blame it ALL on hormones, stupid hormones, but it is also the case it was kind of ever thus, only a few times do I remember it ever being otherwise. I know why the young aren’t having sex anymore either, too stressed etc., like everyone.

      Yes, the damn hormones! We are all different though and some people are asexual with no sexual desire at all and completely happy with that.
