Women in their 5th decade of life are not as sexually active as libido makes a spectacular dip for biological and not only biological reasons.
Recognizing and understanding the perfectly normal changes in the body and mood, which in turn cause decreased libido and pain during intercourse, is the first step in dealing with the effects of menopause and menopause.
To achieve this, women need to explore the biological and psychological factors that negatively affect their sex drive and how they can benefit from modern therapies.
Decreased sexual drive in menopausal and menopausal women is not always about sex. Very often, fatigue, aggravated physical health, fluctuations in psychological mood and relationship with the partner, affect female libido.
During this period of the woman the hormones change, as a result of which internal changes take place in the body and especially in the reproductive area.
The most common problems most women face around the age of 50 are:
• Vaginal dryness and indigestion: Vaginal dryness due to reduced hormones creates an inhospitable environment for dating. Irritation and pain during intercourse (incontinence) is one of the most common reasons women avoid sex.
• Vaginal atrophy: Estrogen decreases, the natural lubrication of the vagina dries the area and the vaginal walls become thinner, losing their elasticity. Result: itching, stinging and pain.
• Inflammation and urinary incontinence: Vaginal disorders in turn lead to urogenital disorders with the appearance of infections and inflammations that are exacerbated by a possible urinary incontinence.
Vaginal dryness and vaginal atrophy worsen over time, causing irritation and severe discomfort in the area. If left untreated a condition to which there is no return can progressively develop. Early treatment is critical to maintaining a healthy vagina and a healthy sex life.
Treatments
In recent years, vaginal rejuvenation treatments have been the answer to the problems caused by menopause.
The most common interventions that more and more women trust, as our experience at the MITERA Center for Urology and Aesthetic Gynecology shows, is the use of lasers and autologous treatment with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
Autologous therapy with PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma)
PRP treatment is the modern answer to vaginal tissue regeneration with success rates exceeding 90%. With this treatment, blood plasma of the woman herself, which is rich in platelets, is injected into the vagina. With this process, collagen is activated, as a result of which the vaginal tissues are renewed and hydrated in a natural way.
The advantages of the method are the following:
• There is no risk of allergic reactions or infections because the injected plasma comes from the woman herself.
• The treatment is done under local anesthesia.
• Return to sex life is immediate as there is no recovery time.
Laser treatment
The use of the laser in the treatment of vaginal atrophy has impressive results, as it stimulates the area by achieving collagen activation and tightening of the vaginal walls.
The advantages of using a laser are:
• the method is bloodless and painless
• does not cause burns
• no hospitalization is required
• no surgical incisions are required
• has high success and satisfaction rates
Also, hyaluronic acid is widely used to treat atrial atrophy and vaginal dryness, because, as in the face, so in the reproductive area it helps in the hydration, elasticity and firmness of the tissues.
Urology and aesthetic gynecology have the answers to the questions and concerns that concern women. As long as women consult their doctor and do not hesitate to describe their problems, especially if they affect their lifestyle.
