Is it normal to have a low sex drive during menopause?
8 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Common: Sex drive tends to decrease in women and men as they age. But studies have shown that in women desire often comes after arousal, meaning that a woman might not feel interested in sex until after foreplay has started. So if your partner still wants to have sex, don't give up. You may need to find new ways of being sexual with each other to sustain her interest.

Yes.: In menopause, estrogen and Progesterone production by the ovaries comes to a complete halt. This double hormone deficiency causes problems for the entire body; vaginal dryness, painful intercourse, and low sex drive included. Bioidentical hrt helps dramatically.
