[quote=Anonymous]This is helpful to read, but there are some just biological things that are not great about menopause. Loss of estrogen is related to so much of what we associate with declines in aging.

Do you still have sex? I am in my late 40s and still sexually active with my husband and I’ve started to notice while I don’t have many symptoms of perimenopause yet, one thing I’ve noticed is more vaginal dryness. Sex isn’t painful yet and I’m still able to get aroused etc. but it is definitely something I’m noticing and not loving.

I do plan on getting an estrogen cream, especially since there is no increase risk of cancer with topical estrogen, and frankly very little risk with systemic, but I don’t want to have that debate on this thread and there are plenty of threads on that. But in the meantime, since I’m not slated to go back for my exam for the next several months, I am looking into some hormone free options.

Just wondering if anyone wants to address that or is it just that you’re not having sex or just not concerned about that aspect of life? I have been told that’s not something that gets better or goes away and in fact will get much worse. [/quote]
