A reduced interest in sex is a common and normal menopause symptom that affects between 20 and 40% of women during the menopausal transition. Declining oestrogen, progesterone, and testosterone levels all contribute, and when compounded by vaginal dryness, poor sleep, low mood, and anxiety, the impact on relationships and self-esteem can be significant. It is important to know that low libido during menopause is not permanent and is not something you simply have to accept.
The York Clinic offers a discreet, non-judgemental space to discuss sexual health concerns openly. Our specialists can explore options including HRT, testosterone therapy for women, vaginal oestrogen, and onward referral for psychosexual support — creating a personalised plan to help you rediscover intimacy and wellbeing on your own terms.
