Menopause Myth #4: You Will Never Enjoy Sex Again

Sexual health and the challenges related to this topic can be one of the most bothersome and discouraging of all of our perimenopause and menopause symptoms.

Loss of libido is a common symptom during this time. You don’t know what to think, how to articulate your feelings or frankly, what to do next to make it better.
