Suggest Medication For Low Libido After Menopause

default
Posted on Fri, 13 Oct 2017
Question: Hi,
I have a really low libedo every since menopause. Zero interest which frustrates my husband. Are there any home/natural remedies other than taking pills? I'm under a huge amount of stress as well with my bipolar sister which I think plays into it. (She doesn't live with us or anything, but acts up so I have to deal with that).
Thanks for any advice!

Brief Answer:
This could be due to vaginal dryness.

Detailed Answer:
Hello thanks for asking from HCM

I can understand your concern. In most females after menopause libido reduces. This occurs due to reduction of oestrogen levels. Vaginal dryness is other cause of poor libido. If you don't want to use drugs then you can use lubricants like KY jelly. This will help to moisten the vagina and you will see improvement. This will help to improve the libido too.

Thanks and take care
