Brief Answer: Hormone replacement therapy will be helpful Detailed Answer: Hi Welcome to Healthcare-Magic Greetings of the day Dear Ms It's usual for many individuals to experience vaginal dryness, loss of libido , hot flushes and mood alteration after attaining menopause (permanent cessation of menstrual cycle). It occurs due to declining level of oestrogen and Progesterone. As you have not benefited with lubricant alone , I would suggest you the following which will definitely help 1. Calcium and Vitamin D3 Supplements 2. ENSURE good intake of water : Consume 2 to 3 liter of water per day. 3. Hormone replacement therapy in consultation with your Gynecologist will definitely be helpful. It will also help in maintaining bone density, prevent osteoporosis, mood elevation and beneficial lipid alteration by increasing HDL Cholesterol 4. Regular exercise and maintaining physical activity. 5. High fiber diet I hope it helped In case you require any further assistance, will be glad to assist you. Take care Best Regards Dr T Shobha Deepak MBBS, MD

Brief Answer: Calcium and Vitamin D3 helpful for muscle tone Detailed Answer: Hi Greetings There is decline in calcium levels secondary to reduced levels of Vitamin D3 in postmenopausal ladies . Calcium is essential for maintaining tone of the muscle. Reduced muscle tone is one of the factor which leads to decreased libido and other problems. Calcium and Vitamin D3 Supplements help in maintaining pelvic muscle tone and help with the muscle supporting the vagina. It also maintains excitability of clitoris ( calcium is required for maintaining nerve excitability) Do get back to me if you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you. Take care Best Regards Dr T Shobha Deepak
