What factors affect the sexual life of older women?

As female friends get older, they still need to pay attention to the issue of sex life. So what factors will affect the sex life of older women?

There are many factors that affect the sexual function and expression of menopausal women and cause changes in their sexual behavior. Many women during menopause experience sexual problems. The two most common ones are pain during sexual intercourse and loss of libido.

Because the common physiological factor for menopausal women is a decrease in hormone levels. Due to ovarian atrophy and degeneration, the estrogen and progesterone levels in their bodies decrease. For postmenopausal women, the estrogen in their bodies is no longer produced by the ovaries, but is converted from androgens, which are produced by the stromal cells of the ovaries (not the follicles) and the adrenal glands. As you can imagine, the estrogen level in the body is lower than before menopause.

Severe estrogen deficiency will have a direct impact on the sexual performance of menopausal women. Medically, the relationship between estrogen loss and sexual dysfunction was recognized more than 40 years ago. Local and systemic estrogen replacement therapy was initially used to enable menopausal women to maintain a certain level of sexual ability.

The above article gives a clear introduction to the factors that affect the sexual life of older women. I hope it will be helpful to everyone. In order to have a normal sex life, constantly enrich their later life and improve their quality of life, older women need to master more skills and methods, which can also improve their own health.
