A Quality Sex Life Doesn’t End at Middle Age

Published January 28, 2016

fat transition with menopause affects sex life

A woman doesn’t have to be a twenty-something to enjoy a fulfilled sex-life. In fact, a 2012 report found that women feel more satisfied with their sex lives after 50, but who are these women? They are the women who come to understand the changes their bodies endure with aging and fight against the traditional woes of aging with a healthy lifestyle plan that includes a focus on sexual health.

Aging and Sexual Health in Women
As women age, their bodies endure hormonal changes that can cause various side effects related to sexual desire that impact the frequency of sexual engagement. For example, vaginal dryness is one symptom women in middle age many women experience. Changes in estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone levels before and during menopause can lead to impair lubrication or a thinning of the vaginal tissues. This can make sex uncomfortable or even painful, thus a reduction in sexual intercourse or even interest in sex is the fallout.

Weight gain is also a result of hormonal changes that occur in middle-age. Changes in estrogen cause a shift in fat stores from the hips, thighs, and buttocks to the abdomen, altering appearance and impacting esteem—more factors that impact sexual desire.

Fortunately, there are solutions to the hormonal imbalances that cause these changes and women of all ages can restore their health and sex lives. . . .Read More
