What Causes Lack Of Libido During Menopause?

I have lost feeling in my genitalia and find it difficult to get sexually aroused. I am menopausal, have lost 40 pounds in the last year on an exercise and healthy eating plan and am recovering from two trauma in the last 4 years. My marriage is failing (my husband has a low sex drive so lack of sex is not the culprit for that, it s his inability to be intimate and attentive and communicative). I m 55 and can t accept my life as a woman is essentially over. Feeling sad :(

General & Family Physician 's  Response
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

You and your husband may want to consider therapy to see if this would help your relationship.

This counselling would be with a marriage counsellor, psychiatrist or pastor if you belong to a church.

Discussion of any issues may help.

I hope this helps
