Ms. Zhang is 50 years old and has been menopausal for about two years, and she has been feeling itchy and tingling underneath her for a while.
At first, I thought it was because the underwear was not breathable and I had eczema, so I bought my own ointment to apply, but the effect was not ideal, so I had to go to the hospital for treatment.
The doctor found that it was a series of symptoms caused by vaginitis, but Ms. Zhang was troubled, feeling that she had not had sex with her husband since menopause, and her personal hygiene was also in place, so how could she be targeted by vaginitis?
The doctor explained: Many middle-aged and elderly women have been troubled by vaginitis, vaginitis is not necessarily caused by sexual life, and a decrease in estrogen levels may also cause vaginitis.
1. Why do some women not want to live a married life after menopause?
Many women start to reject sex after menopause, why is that?
There are many factors for menopausal women to refuse sexual life, on the one hand, it is due to factors such as overwork, disharmony between husband and wife, and excessive pressure, which affect sexual desire, and on the other hand, some chronic diseases such as hypertension and diabetes affect the blood supply to the private parts, thus inhibiting sexual function.
In addition, the level of estrogen in the body decreases after menopause, resulting in a decrease in pelvic blood flow, atrophy of the reproductive organs, and a decrease in pelvic floor muscle tone, which triggers sexual arousal and orgasmic disorders, resulting in menopausal women being very reluctant to have sex.
In this regard, it is recommended that husbands start from the following points!
3. Adapt to the physiological changes of your wife
For the physiological changes of the wife, the husband should be more understanding and adaptive, so as to help the wife reduce pressure, pay more attention to the wife's life and physical state, and not force the wife to have sex.

For the sake of good health, it is recommended that middle-aged women eat more eggs, walnuts, meat, seafood, peanut kernels, mussels and other foods rich in vitamins A, E and zinc.
3. Seek treatment from a professional doctor
If your wife has severe menopausal symptoms, it is best to seek professional medical treatment to relieve the symptoms, increase libido, and help your wife regain her confidence and interest in sex.
