Sexuality after menopause
Sexuality after menopause is a major component of health and well-being, although it is often neglected by both patients and health care providers. Sexual dysfunction appears early after menopause due to both vaginal dryness/dyspareunia and decreased libido, as an effect of hypoestrogenism in the periphery as well as in the central nervous system. Systemic (hormone replacement therapy) and topical estrogens (in the form of vaginal creams/gels) represent the main available therapeutic interventions.
