Thinking about menopause can be very worrying for a woman reaching menopausal age, one of the main things women worry about is whether their sex drive will be strong enough for them to desire sex after menopause. In this article we look at what happen to a females sex drive after menopause.

It is widely believed that women lose their sex drive when they go through menopause, however recent studies are showing this is not true. Further more many menopausal women find that their desire for sex does not get affected at all during and after menopause.

It seems that menopause is used as a scapegoat for anything bad that happens to women during this period. For example the aging process may slow the sex drive down a bit, but when it comes to women, menopause is always to blame. Further more the effects of certain medication can also have a negative affect on the sex drive of a female as well as certain illnesses that tend to affect women who are at the age of menopause i.e arthritis. Yet again anything to do with low sex drive is blamed on menopause.

You've been told that menopause will lower your sex drive for so long that you probably don't believe a word I am writing, however, fortunately for me there are recent studies seem to be saying the same thing. The results of one study suggest estrogen has nothing to do with changes in the sexual response of women who have been through menopause. There are still ongoing studies in regards to this area, and I'm confident they will compliment each other.

However research does suggests that declining estrogen levels during menopause makes sexual intercourse painful for the female, but this is a minor problem compared to losing ones sex drive, and it can be rectified quite easily.

The mind is a powerful tool, and the following findings from research confirm this. A recent study found that some women did lose sexual desire after menopause, however these women believed it was normal for this to happen. It didn't happen to the women who didn't think they would lose their sex drive during menopause.

So if you are a menopausal or post menopausal woman and you find your sex drive is declining don't just assume it's due to menopause, speak to your doctor as it may be a due to another condition. If it turns out that your desire has decreased a s a result of menopause then your doctor will be able to determine what method of treatment is best for you.
