Having No Sex Urge After Reaching Menopause. How To Overcome The Sudden Loss Of Sex Drive?

Hello, My name is Sanghamitra Chatterjee. I am from India. My age is 52 years. I lost my husband 6 years back. I again felt in love and married a person 2 and half years back, who is 7 years younger than me. Both of us were enjoying sex happily, especially I was crazy about sex. I never believe that without sex I can survive. My menopause started after 6 months of my second marriage. But, still we were enjoying sex. Suddenly, from 4 months back, I found that I have no sex urge at all. I lost vaginal fluid completely and I feel pain at initial time of intercourse, especially at the time of penetration. I am a diabetic patient (not my hubby), but that is controlled. I am gaining weight, getting fatty (though I eat very little food) and during a couple of days I found my mouth, my lips, my throats getting dry. I am feeling guilty that I deprive my husband from sex and feeling scared if I loose him due to sudden loss of my sex drive. Please help me to improve my sex urge as before to overcome this deadly situation. Thanks in advance. Regards. Sanghamitra Chatterjee
