Did you use to routinely have orgasms? Do you miss your orgasm? Would you like to have orgasms again? Yessssss!!! Dr. Oakley & Holly will chat on how you can overcome the negative symptoms of menopause and rediscover the joy of sex? "Love Your Body" and improving body confidence can be a simple way to get your sexy back. During menopause, your estrogen levels take a sharp decline, affecting your interest in sex, ability to become aroused or adequately stimulated through touch, and making it difficult to reach orgasm during sexual activity. This hormone depletion leads to vaginal atrophy, the thinning and weakening of vaginal tissue, which makes intercourse uncomfortable, increases the risk of UTIs and other infections, and causes tissue tearing and bleeding. So Lube It Up and moisturizer! Unlike some symptoms of menopause that lessen over time, such as hot flashes, the dryness from vaginal atrophy tends to continue and worsen unless treated. Using an over-the-counter moisturizer every 2 or 3 days counteracts vaginal dryness while also providing lubrication for the friction of sexual activity. You asked Dr. Oakley: Why do UTIs occur in menopausal women? As you age, your vaginal tissue thins, making it more likely to cause infection. UTIs risk is much higher throughout perimenopause and menopause due to the drop in estrogen levels; the hormone estrogen allows good bacteria to grow and helps maintain an acidic environment, keeping the bad bacteria out. Incontinence and bladder prolapse are also other factors that cause UTIs in postmenopausal women.
