You've been told that menopause will lower your sex drive for so long that you probably don't believe a word I am writing, however, fortunately for me there are recent studies seem to be saying the same thing. The results of one study suggest estrogen has nothing to do with changes in the sexual response of women who have been through menopause. There are still ongoing studies in regards to this area, and I'm confident they will compliment each other.
However research does suggests that declining estrogen levels during menopause makes sexual intercourse painful for the female, but this is a minor problem compared to losing ones sex drive, and it can be rectified quite easily.
The mind is a powerful tool, and the following findings from research confirm this. A recent study found that some women did lose sexual desire after menopause, however these women believed it was normal for this to happen. It didn't happen to the women who didn't think they would lose their sex drive during menopause.
