Menopause and Aging

Menopause can alter hormone levels, resulting in problems with arousal. During menopause, there is a sharp decrease in estrogen production. In addition, testosterone levels gradually decline with aging. As a result, many women at midlife have decreased vaginal lubrication and associated difficulties with arousal. These hormonal changes may also be responsible for a decrease in sex drive.
