I thought sex would be so much better after menopause. No more worries about pregnancy. No more birth control pills; no more condoms. Did not have to worry about forgetting either. Freedom! Freedom! Freedom! That word rang through my mind like a happy Irish lyric. Then reality set in.
The first time my husband and I had sex that was painful beyond words, the mythical bubble of satisfying orgasms without guilt burst with a sob. What happened?
Menopause happened and along with it, the thinning of the vaginal walls and the urinary tract becoming less flexible, drier and easier to injure. Adding insult to injury, suddenly I had more UTI s(urinary tract infections) and, last but far from least, occasional embarrassing, urinary incontinence.
My man wondered why I lacked the desire to jump in the sack. Fortunately after talking to my gynecologist, I discovered the following true miracles of science and good common sense made just for the woman who wants to keep that sexy feeling after menopause.
A lack of estrogen is the primary reason for the dryness, and replacing it is the best way to reverse the problem. There are several choices, depending on your needs.
• Low dose estrogen through patch, cream or pill replaces natural estrogen. This is useful especially if you are still in the hot flash or mood-altering phase.
• General impact creams, tablets and rings placed in the vagina lubricate without other effects.
Learn pelvic exercises to strengthen and tighten the vaginal area. Release the sexy lady hiding inside you with core Pilates and Kegel exercise. They not only help strengthen problem areas, they also ease urinary incontinence. (Probably could not hurt if the exercises helped reduce senior tummies, as well.)
A great way to help yourself – keep having sex! Sex pushes blood into the area thus nourishing your vaginal cells.
And, ladies, talk to your man. Let him in on the secret of sex in your golden years that may be better than it ever was in your youth! There are various gels on the market to help both of you have better sex now that the kids are out of the nest.
