This is the story of most women who are experiencing perimenopause<\/a> and menopause<\/a>.\u00a0Menopause is a big deal! It\u2019s not a disease but a physiological change and definitely, a game changer. When physiology changes, you don’t feel the same anymore.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n As menopause approaches, there is decline in female hormones<\/a> i.e. estrogen and progesterone, which produce both physical and emotional\u00a0 changes and can directly affect the sex life . The most common problems which we address are about pain during sex<\/a>, loss of libido<\/a>, and inability to achieve orgasm even if you are with the man of your dreams.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n All these problems happen due to decreasing blood supply to the vulva and vagina which causes thinning of vaginal lining and decreased lubrication.The vulval and vaginal tissue lose their elasticity and vaginal length becomes shorter. All these factors cause pain, soreness, itching and burning.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n Fluctuating hormones affect emotional wellbeing and cause complete emotional turmoil, sleep disturbances, mood changes, and the way women perceive life.
