Sexual intercourse is an integral part of a couple's sexual life and a key element in maintaining a couple's relationship. However, when couples get older, because their sexual functions will decline to a certain extent and their body sensitivity will decrease, they will immediately encounter big problems in their sex life, such as pain. So, what causes pain during sexual intercourse in women during menopause? The main reasons for women's menopausal sexual pain are as follows: 1. Due to the decrease in female hormones, especially the decrease in estrogen levels, vaginal dryness, difficulty in sexual intercourse, and even pain in sexual intercourse may occur. At this time, you need to use some medicine to alleviate it, such as applying estrogen herbal preparations into the vagina or using some condoms with lubricating effect to improve the condition of vaginal dryness. 2. Elderly vaginitis may cause repeated vaginal infections due to the decrease of female hormones, leading to pain during sexual intercourse and even vulvar itching. At this time, anti-infection treatment is needed. Metronidazole vaginal suppositories can be placed partially in the vagina. How to relieve pain during intercourse: 1. Women should pay attention to maintaining regular sexual life before menopause. Some women's sexual experiences and expressions remain unaffected after menopause. In fact, women who maintain regular sexual life before menopause can still maintain stable sexual life after menopause, even after the age of 60. This suggests that the onset of menopause is not the end of married life, but rather that menopausal women should be helped to find ways to adapt to the cognitive and practical issues that arise. 2. Use estrogen under the guidance of a doctor. The cause of sexual intercourse pain is shrinkage and dryness in the vagina. Therefore, postmenopausal women can use estrogen under the guidance of a doctor to increase the thickness and elasticity of the vaginal epithelial cells and increase female secretions to relieve or eliminate sexual intercourse pain. In addition, women's sexual desire is also related to the level of testosterone in the body. |
