“I thought having reached this point in my life empty nest, career success, or retirement my partner and I could enjoy intimacy in a new, more leisurely way. But my body has betrayed me!” This is the story of most of the perimenopausal and menopausal women. Menopause is a big deal, it’s not a disease but a physiological change and game-changer. When physiology changes you don t feel the same anymore. As menopause approaches, there is a decline in female hormones i.e. oestrogen and progesterone which can produce both physical and emotional changes which directly affect the sex life.
