Title: Loss of sex drive
Post by: lisa06031510 on January 27, 2023, 06:28:40 PM

Hey Guys,

I know it's very common to lose your sex drive while going through this horrendous Menopause.... But will it come back??
I had such a high sex drive and now nothing.. nit and sex or wanted it for a year!!!

Thank you xx

Not without help. For some it returns with adequate oestrogen, others like me need testosterone. Are you on HRT?

I am yeah and for the first 2 years I was fine... Even when started to get a dry Vagina I still thought about it and had sex and still enjoyed it... But for a year nothing.... Like barely think about it and when I do it makes me feel queezy

I would ask your gp for a referral to a meno clinic to get testosterone, it usually has to be prescribed by a specialist. Do you have treatment for VA? There's nothing like pain or the thought of it to put you off.

Yeah I have cream that gives it moisture but it's still dead down there... Just so strange as my sex drive was so high and now nothing
