The Change

Let's face it: none of us want to get old, and we definitely don't like it when our bodies aren't keeping up with our libidos. Age creates some physical and emotional alterations that can affect a woman's personal life. As we age, our vagina’s take on a whole new outlook on life, becoming shorter and more narrow.

As we grow older, our estrogen levels will steadily decline after menopause, and because of this we will receive much less vaginal lubrication. While these new changes are occurring on the outside, inside the walls of our vagina's are growing thinner and a bit stiff. Balanced estrogen levels help to keep the vagina moist, changing those levels, as in this case might put a damper on your sex life.

No Drive

Erectile dysfunction is the main sexual complaint given by men of a certain age, and most mild cases can be reversed by taking a pill. If only it were that simple for women! A woman's most common sexual dilemma includes both mental and physical properties, which aren't likely to be cured by simply ingesting some processed wonder drug.

Too Dry

When a woman is experiencing hot flashes or vaginal dryness, her gynecologist will sometimes prescribe estrogen shots or menopausal medication. The estrogen shot is simply hormones that work to replace estrogen that the body is no longer producing as rapidly as before. The medication will then help to balance out the high dosage of estrogen.

Vaginal dryness can be the ultimate mood killer. It's very common for women who are going through menopause and those who are post menopausal to experience a little dry spell. During this time of hormonal change, the vaginal walls are thinning because of estrogen decline. This makes it tough for the body to lubricate itself.

No 'O'

When you put these two main components together, low sex drive, and vaginal dryness, and add in some good old menopause, it might seem like your orgasms will never return. Luckily, over time and post shot of estrogen, your hormone levels will begin to balance themselves out with the help of the menopausal medication your doctor has prescribed for you.

To help bring back that orgasm even faster, look into a phyto menopausal formula to help more quickly and efficiently. This will help aid and greatly reduce the symptoms of menopause with natural herbs such as Wild Yam. The yam is known for its high content of saponin, which takes the sting out of hormonal imbalance and also reduces hot flashes.
