Such as menstrual disorders, dizziness, upset impetuous, dry mouth, hot flashes, red tongue, pulse count and so on.

(1) The decrease in sexual interest seems to be associated with a decrease in estrogen. Some people who were in premenopausal, menopausal, and postmenopausal women in the same age group were compared. The survey found that 52%, 68%, and 79% of them reported a decrease in sexual interest.
(2) The frequency of sexual life also decreases with the decline of estrogen. A survey has shown that early menopausal women who are twice as high as estrogen in late menopause have almost twice as frequent sexual intercourse. Although many experts believe that testosterone levels are the driving force for sex, there is no difference in testosterone levels between the two groups. Some people think that when the blood estrogen level is as low as 35 ng/mg or lower, it will indicate a significant change in the frequency of sexual intercourse (less than once a week), so this value becomes a key figure. When estrogen levels are above this level, almost all women have sex at least once a week. According to one survey, the number of women who stopped sexual activity in the 46-50, 50-60, and 60-70 age groups accounted for 14%, 42%, and 73%, respectively. The survey also showed that the frequency of all forms of sexual activity (sexual intercourse, hand-to-genital stimulation and physical relatives) in postmenopausal women was lower than in premenopausal women.
(3) Oral orgasm ability also decreases after menopause. Although the climax ability of most people remains the same, it is reported that 12%, 16% and 24% of women in the age group of 38, 50 and 54 respectively reported that they could not reach orgasm during sexual intercourse.
Other changes in the sexual response cycle experienced by postmenopausal women include:
The incidence of sexual blush decreased, muscle tension decreased, breast volume no longer increased during sexual stimulation, vestibular glandular secretion slowed or stopped, vaginal lubrication was delayed or absent, and the width of the vaginal transcervical cross-section was reduced. /3 Reduced congestion, less or occasional uterine pain in high tide.
Not surprisingly, the overall sexual response of postmenopausal women has become dull or weakened.
Diagnosis
Differential diagnosis
Sexual desire: refers to excessive sexual desire, more than normal sexual desire, frequent sexual excitement, urgent requirements for sexual behavior, increased frequency of sexual intercourse, prolonged sexual intercourse. Sexual excitement appears too much, too fast, too dramatic and exceeds normal state. Young people have normal sexual life 1 or 2 times a week. It is normal for newlyweds or married couples to reunite their sexual life. Those who are sexually motivated, that is, sexual intercourse every day, even demanding sex life many times, staying up all night, can not meet the sexual desire requirements.
Loss of libido: a state characterized by a combination of sexual life and initial sexual behavior. Women have more narrative libido than men, and the literature reports that men are 16% to 20%, and women are 20%. 37%. The diagnostic criteria for loss of libido are: 1. Adulthood rather than old age. 2. Lack of interest and sexual activity requirements. 3. Continue for at least 6 months. 4, not brain organic diseases, physical illness, alcohol or drugs, nor is it part of the symptoms of other mental disorders (such as neurosis depression schizophrenia).
Lack of sexual interest and sexual activity requirements: complete sexual libido and situational sexual desire. Sexual libido suppression is clinically common. Performance is not interested in sexual behavior from the beginning or reduces sexual life acceptance. It is divided into 4 levels according to its degree: Grade I: Sexual desire is less than normal, but acceptable spouse requirements are accepted. . Level II: Sexual desire is normal, but it declines at a certain stage or in a specific environment. Level III: Sexual desire is consistently low, and the monthly sexual life is less than twice, or although it exceeds this standard, it is passively obeyed under the pressure of the spouse. Level IV: Sexual desire is consistently low, and disruptive activities last for 6 months.
