MENOPAUSE: OESTROGEN REPLACEMENT THERAPY
Posted by adminTreatment of uncomfortable intercourse is to my mind one of the most important uses for oestrogen replacement. Women must be given oestrogen replacement long-term after the menopause if they are having painful intercourse and discomfort so severe it cannot be relieved by other measures. These women, from then on, will only get drier and drier if the discomfort is due to oestrogen lack, and the process will not be reversed unless treatment is given. Marriages have been ruined and family life disrupted when this simple treatment has been withheld. There is no doubt that this symptom is interrelated with libido after the menopause, but as explained later, other factors are also important.
In all the discussion about increased desire, or loss of it, there are two main points, that libido is maintained by regular sexual activity, and that sexual activity actually keeps the vagina more flexible. There is no doubt that sexual activity within a relationship gives a new meaning to it, and in most instances it is well worth maintaining. It is a fact that in both men and women, regular sexual activity in later life not only improves the performance but also the desire.
