There are 4 kinds of sexual problems in women: Desire disorders - When you are not interested in having sex or have less desire for sex than you used to. Arousal disorders - When you don't feel a sexual response in your body or you cannot stay sexually aroused. Orgasmic disorders - When you can't have an orgasm or you have pain during orgasm. Sexual pain disorders - When you have pain during or after sex. What can I do? If desire is the problem, try changing your usual routine. Try having sex at different times of the day, or try a different sexual position. Arousal disorders can often be helped if you use a vaginal cream for dryness. If you have gone through menopause, talk to your doctor about taking estrogen or using an estrogen cream. If you have a problem having an orgasm, masturbation can help you. Extra stimulation (before you have sex with your partner) with a vibrator may be helpful. You might need rubbing or stimulation for up to an hour before having sex. Many women don't have an orgasm during intercourse. If you want an orgasm with intercourse, you or your partner may want to gently stroke your clitoris. If you're having pain during sex, try different positions. When you are on top, you have more control over penetration and movement. Emptying your bladder before you have sex, using extra creams or taking a warm bath before sex all can help. If you still have pain during sex, talk to your doctor. If you have a tight vagina, you can try using something like a tampon to help you get used to relaxing your vagina. Your doctor can tell you more about this. What else I can do? Talk openly with your partner about sex and the impacts - both positive and negative - of your menopause. Physical changes may slow your reaction times. Plan for slow, lingering sessions of lovemaking. Try widening your sexual horizons and include sexual activities that don't involve vaginal penetration, such as oral sex, sexual aids and mutual masturbation. Regular masturbation helps to improve blood flow and muscle tone. Wash your vulva with warm water and sorbolene rather than soap, which can further dry and irritate the tissues. If vaginal dryness persists, consider using water-based vaginal lubricants, available from chemists and supermarkets. Oestrogen creams and can help manage vaginal dryness. Consult with your doctor. To maintain an appropriate weight for your height, exercise regularly and eat a healthy diet. Reduce Menopause Symptoms Naturally It may surprise you to know that the physical and emotional symptoms of menopause are not necessarily universal. Women in Asian and Mediterranean regions, for instance, tend to have an easier time with this midlife change than those in North America. Why? Scientists believe women in these cultures have a higher natural intake of isoflavones because soy and other legumes are among their dietary staples. Soy is one of nature’s most nutritious foods, and it contains the two isoflavones most important to your health: genistin and daidzin. Recent research shows that soy isoflavones may: 1.help alleviate the symptoms of menopause 2.help maintain healthy bones 3.inhibit the growth of certain cancer cells 4.lower cholesterol levels 5.reduce the risk of heart disease
