How to Lower Libido

At midlife, ex can cause problems for some women such as libido. But it's not a disaster: there's a remedy for everything and your partner has an important role to play as well.

Reject old prejudices
Some of us inherit, usually unconsciously, taboos, often deeply rooted in culture. Sex no longer linked with procreation is considered 'bad', almost 'against the law of nature'. It's a time to be aware of these taboos and, in the apt words of the gynecologist David Elia, not to let you be conditioned by horrible descriptions of vaginal atrophy and total loss of desire. There can be problems but they are quite treatable.

Vaginal dryness is not inevitable
This can happen 12 to 36 months after your last period, because of the lack of oestrogensm and causes pain and a burning sensation during sexual intercourse. HRT, applied in the form of a cream containing oestrogen, usually deals with the problem. If it persists, try lubricants, which can be bought in pharmacies without a prescription

Some Facts

• Testosterone can be combined with HRT to revive the libido.
