Menopause can bring frustrating changes, including reduced libido. But there are some safe options that may help boost your drive.
The most important first step is speaking openly with your doctor. They can check for underlying issues impacting desire. Having an open dialogue helps guide options.
Some approaches worth discussing:
- Lifestyle changes: Prioritizing sleep, reducing stress through yoga/meditation, staying active, and eating nutritious whole foods supports overall wellbeing, including libido.
- Herbal supplements: Some report benefit from maca root or ginkgo biloba. Always consult a doctor before trying supplements to ensure safety and proper use.
- Hormone therapy: Vaginal estrogen, low dose estrogen patches/pills, DHEA, or testosterone may help when used carefully under medical supervision. Discuss risks/benefits.
- Mindfulness techniques: Refocusing on sensation versus goal-oriented sex can take pressure off. Exploring sensual touch, toys, lubricants can also help spark arousal.
- Supportive partner communication: Speaking openly about needs and concerns is key. A caring, patient, and positive partner greatly impacts intimacy. Consider couples counseling too.
