How can menopause affect your libido?

Menopause can bring about changes in libido for many women. The decline in estrogen levels can lead to reduced sexual desire and changes in sexual response. This can also be linked to other symptoms like vaginal dryness and mood swings, which can further affect intimacy. It's important to communicate openly with your partner about any changes you may be experiencing. There are various treatments available, including lubricants and hormone therapy, that can help alleviate these symptoms. If you're concerned about changes in your libido, don't hesitate to talk to your GP for advice and support.
