A member asked:
How does menopause affect a woman's overall sexual health?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Good news & bad: The good news is that there are no more worries about unintended pregnancy. The bad news is the declining hormone production that can cause vaginal dryness and pain with intercourse as well as a decrease in sexual desire if untreated.
