Menopause, Stress, and Sexual Desire

Language of Love with Dr. Laura Berman

It’s time for another Language of Love Session where I get to sit down with one of my listeners and help them with their love life. I love these episodes because each time you ask your questions (and I give the answer), I know we are helping 100s of thousands of other people with the same query!

In this episode I’m helping Mary who, like way too many of us, has been living in a sexless marriage with her husband for some time. Much of her low desire is due to the daily grind and work-related stress, but was compounded by premature menopause in her thirties. If you are struggling in a sexless relationship or with low desire, listen in for important tips and tools for addressing the symptoms from a mind, body and relationship perspective.

In this episode I help Mary unravel:

• Challenges in sexual relationships due to menopause and work-related stress
• Effects of stress on men's sexual desire and decline of testosterone with age
• Importance of understanding hormonal changes and their impact on sexual health
• Practical suggestions for improving sexual communication and exploring alternative approaches to intimacy
• Options for improving sexual response and desire, particularly for women
• Insurance coverage for treatments such as testosterone replacement and locally delivered estrogen
• Reassurance about the normalcy of reduced sexual activity in long-term relationships
• The importance of maintaining a strong emotional connection in a relationship
