Dr. Barbara Lavi answered

Specializes in Clinical Psychology

It happens, but: not for all women, some report improved sex drive. A hormonal imbalance of estrogen, progesterone & even testosterone could cause sexual impairment and symptoms like those reported by menopausal women. These symptoms can be effectively w' comprehensive hormone therapy from a specially trained physician.
