What are the causes of sexual dysfunction in women after menopause?

As women age, their sexual desire will gradually decrease. After menopause, many people think that there is no need to have sex anymore, and some female friends even develop aversion to sex. The symptoms shown above are actually in the category of sexual dysfunction. So what causes these phenomena for women after menopause? Let's take a look now!

Causes of sexual dysfunction:

1. Physiological factors. This is the leading factor leading to sexual dysfunction in middle-aged and elderly women. As estrogen levels in middle-aged and elderly women decrease, the vaginal walls atrophy, lose elasticity, and secretions decrease, causing pain and dysfunction during sexual intercourse.

2. Psychological factors. Many men around 50 years old have successful careers, strong social skills and personal charm, and are easily admired by some young women, which invisibly increases men's sense of superiority.

On the contrary, after women enter menopause, their estrogen levels drop, and the secretion of certain neurostimulants, such as androgen and beta-endorphin, decreases, making them prone to mental fatigue, depression, loss of libido, and body changes (such as obesity). This can easily lead to inferiority complex, resulting in slower sexual arousal and awakening during sex, and even causing their spouses to lose "sexual interest" and interrupt sex.

In addition, the social and cultural atmosphere also has an important restraining effect on people's sexual concepts. The concept that "sex" belongs only to young people also deeply affects many middle-aged and elderly women, so that they feel embarrassed about having sexual desires. Therefore, postmenopausal sexual dysfunction is caused by multiple factors. Simply relying on estrogen supplementation for treatment can only alleviate the patient's physiological causes, but cannot improve their psychological causes.

In fact, the reasons for sexual dysfunction in women after menopause are not only related to our physiological factors, but more importantly, they are caused by psychological factors. This is an unhealthy phenomenon, because it is not only detrimental to one's own health, but also alienates the relationship between couples, so it is necessary to go to the hospital for treatment.
