Will i ever enjoy sex again after menopause? ever since i started going through menopause, sex has become more and more uncomfortable and almost painful. is there anything i can do to enjoy sex again?

You : You can absolutely enjoy sex after menopause. First, make sure you're comfortable with your own body, then take that new knowledge and understanding and bring it into your relationship. Lower levels of estrogen after menopause can make the vaginal mucosa dry and thin, sometimes making sex uncomfortable. Lubrication is key. Experiment with different lubricants, and make sure you're using plenty. Talk to your doctor about this issue. There are certain medications that may be of help to you.
