Menopause has killed my sex drive and I worry my husband will leave me

DEAR DEIDRE: SINCE I went through the menopause, my sex life has taken a proper nose-dive.

My husband and I have always enjoyed a good love life and I’m worried he will get frustrated and leave me.

I have found I’m very dry down below so sex is really uncomfortable and even painful at times.

My sex drive has dipped and I don’t feel anywhere near as close to him as I used to.

He’s becoming sulky and I’m sure it’s because I can’t enjoy making love.

I thought I was supposed to be the moody one.

DEIDRE SAYS: One common side-effect of the menopause brought on by the lower levels of oestrogen is vaginal dryness.

So prolonged foreplay and lubricants can help, as well as cutting down on alcohol that dehydrates our whole bodies.

Try to improve your libido by focusing on your well-being and energy levels.

For instance, you can improve sleep by controlling night sweats.

For many people, restoring hormone levels can also improve sexual sensation. My support pack Love And The Mature Woman will help.
