Early menopause if you don't have sex? What should I do if my private parts become thin and dry? Doctor: The problem does not necessarily lie with women
Is menopause a watershed moment in sexual life? The private parts become thinner and dry during menopause
Generally, between the ages of 45 and 55, ovarian function begins to decline in women, accompanied by reduced menstrual frequency and irregular menstruation. The period of complete cessation of menstruation is the so-called “menopause.” Due to the decline in hormone secretion, women may experience uncomfortable physical and mental symptoms of menopause, which may even affect the sexual life of couples.
Taiwan Ministry of Health and Welfare, Health Promotion Administration’s “Women’s Menopause Health Handbook” points out that many people regard menopause as a watershed in sexual life. Without menstruation, women will lose interest in sexual life. Reduced hormones may reduce sexual pleasure and cause sexual intercourse pain in women. The effects include atrophy of the uterus, ovaries and labia majora; drying and thinning of the vaginal mucosa, narrowing of the vaginal opening, poor elasticity, reduced excitement phase response, etc. It can be improved by adjusting your lifestyle and seeking medical attention in a timely manner.
Lack of sex causes early menopause? How to improve menopausal distress
Chen Ying, a Chinese medicine practitioner from the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of Guangtian General Hospital, pointed out in an interview that common symptoms of women’s menopause include flushing, heart palpitations, vulva dryness, and decreased sexual desire. Some people mistakenly believe that early menopause is caused by reduced sexual activity. In fact, early menopause is caused by decreased sexual desire. Problems such as ovarian function decline and vulvar discomfort after menopause can be improved through appropriate treatment.
Chen Ying, a Chinese medicine practitioner, said that to relieve the above menopausal conditions, appropriate hormone supplementation, vaginal laser surgery or autologous platelet plasma injection can be used. Vaginal laser is similar to the principle of facial laser. It uses high energy to restore the elasticity of vaginal epithelial cells, make them younger, reduce dryness and itching, and can improve symptoms and sexual discomfort to a certain extent.
As for hormone therapy, it can improve menopausal symptoms, but if you have breast cancer, endometrial cancer, liver disease, coronary heart disease, a history of stroke, or unexplained vaginal bleeding, you should first consult an obstetrician-gynecologist.

In fact, men will also suffer from menopausal problems as they age, leading to low male hormones, decreased physical strength, and decreased sexual desire. Generally, male hormones decline at a slower rate, and the degree varies from person to person, and the symptoms may not be as obvious as those in women.
“Actually, sometimes when sexual life is uncoordinated, the problem may lie with men, not necessarily women!” Chinese medicine doctor Chen Ying reminds that men’s physical strength and sexual desire decrease after menopause, which may also be the cause of uncoordinated sexual life between couples. . We remind couples that if they have a similar situation, they can go to the obstetrics and gynecology department together for medical consultation, and the doctor will evaluate how to improve it.
