Health for All says
In recent years, with the improvement of people's living standards and the advancement of medical technology, people's life expectancy has also been extended. As women age, menopause has gradually become one of the focuses of attention. Menopause is a sign of the end of a woman's reproductive cycle, and in postmenopausal women's lives, couples also face some problems and troubles in their sex life. As an experienced veteran TCM practitioner, I would like to share with you some knowledge and solutions about postmenopausal couple life.
1.Reduces libido.
Postmenopausal women tend to experience a loss of libido as estrogen production decreases in their bodies. Estrogen is one of the important hormones to maintain female libido, and it plays an important role in the development and function of female organs. Therefore, as estrogen decreases, a woman's libido also gradually decreases.
For this problem, the old Chinese medicine doctor has some suggestions and methods to try. First of all, both husband and wife should maintain good communication and understanding, and fully understand each other's physical changes. Secondly, the time for foreplay can be appropriately increased to stimulate women's libido. At the same time, women can also try some health care measures, such as traditional Chinese medicine conditioning and appropriate exercise, to enhance their libido.
2.*Dry.
Postmenopausal women are prone to dryness due to the decline in estrogen levels in the body, the elasticity and lubrication of the walls decrease. This not only brings discomfort to the sex life, but also easily leads to infection and inflammation, which can further affect the quality of the sex life.
In response to this problem, the old Chinese medicine doctor suggested that women should pay attention to health care. You can use some lubricants or moisturizing products to improve dryness. At the same time, regular pelvic floor muscle exercises can also increase flexibility and lubrication. In addition, there are some ancient prescriptions in traditional Chinese medicine that can help improve the problem of dryness, such as peach kernel decoction, pork ribs and lotus seed soup, etc. However, it is best to seek medical advice before using any medication or herb.
3.Psychological disorders.
Postmenopausal women often have certain psychological barriers to their physical changes and sex life. For example, I am afraid of the pain caused by my married life, and I am worried about my attractiveness. This psychological barrier can further affect the couple's sex life and even have a certain negative impact on the marriage.
For this problem, the old Chinese medicine doctor believes that psychological relaxation and acceptance are very important. Husbands and wives should be honest with each other, understanding and supportive of each other. At the same time, women can also appropriately carry out some psychological counseling, such as talking to friends, listening to ** relaxation, etc. In addition, there are some herbs in TCM that can help improve mental state, such as angelica, salvia, etc., but they need to be used under the guidance of a doctor.
Bottom line: Postmenopausal couples can face some problems, but it's not an intractable problem. With the understanding and support of both couples, as well as reasonable health care methods, it is possible to effectively improve the sex life after menopause. At the same time, the old Chinese medicine doctor also hopes that everyone will not be shy and closed because of this problem, and can actively seek the help and guidance of doctors to better cope with the life of a couple after menopause.
