In a woman over 50, even if she feels good and looks no older than forty, her estrogen levels begin to drop. This is manifested by "hot flashes", increased sweating, changes in sexual function and the reproductive system.
In fact, sex begins in the head, and by no means below the waist. The part of the brain responsible for sexual function and mood, i.e. the hypothalamus is a hotbed of estrogen receptors. Estrogen, along with testosterone, plays an important role in sex drive.
Estrogen is like a moisturizer and is very important for the normal functioning of the reproductive system. When the level of estrogen decreases, the tissues of the genitals begin to dry out, which leads to discomfort in sexual life. Over time, this can lead to significant changes: dryness, irritation and pain during intercourse appear. Testosterone also plays an important role in sexual desire and satisfaction, but unlike estrogen, testosterone levels do not drop dramatically during menopause, but drop gradually after age 25. By the time a woman reaches menopause, its production is halved from what it was at 25.
Lack of sexual desire is not associated with age: even young girls who do not experience orgasm can be disappointed in sex, while a woman over 50 is able to experience great pleasure during intercourse, despite the inevitable aging of the body.
To reduce problems during menopause, you need to take pills designed to increase estrogen levels. If a woman over 50 cannot make love due to excessive dryness of the genitals, estrogen can be used in the form of a cream or a ring inserted into the vagina. Many ladies report recovery and gradual improvement in sexual comfort thanks to these methods. You can also use vaginal moisturizers to relieve dryness for a while and make intercourse less painful.
A 50-year-old woman has a lot of experience in love, which means she has great opportunities to meet her needs and the desires of her partner. She just shouldn't forget that sex plays a big role in relationships and it would be a mistake to neglect it.
