Menopause and Your Sex Life: What Changes and What Helps

Menopause can change sex — but it doesn’t have to ruin it. At Be. Women’s Health in Frisco, TX, we help women understand why intimacy shifts and how to bring comfort and pleasure back.

What changes during menopause:

1. Vaginal dryness
Lower estrogen thins tissue and decreases natural lubrication.

2. Painful sex
Dryness and tissue changes can create discomfort or tearing.

3. Lower libido
Hormone changes + sleep disruption + mood changes = desire dip.

4. Orgasm changes
Some women report weaker orgasms or less sensitivity.

What helps:

✔ Vaginal estrogen — highly effective, safe for most women
✔ Lubricants and moisturizers — especially silicone-based
✔ Hormone therapy — improves libido for many
✔ Pelvic floor physical therapy
✔ Sex therapy or couples support
✔ Stress, sleep, and mood support

There’s nothing shameful about these changes — and nothing wrong with seeking help.
