One of my work colleagues told me that she wanted sex a lot during perimenopause. She says that she had major problem with her husband about it. Their marriage was in big crises. Anyway, I am very close to perimenopause and I wonder if my sex life would change. What are other people’s experiences? Is anyone willing to share?

Most women don’t experience major changes in their sex lives during the perimenopause. My sex life for example was the same in the perimenopause as before, although I experienced more vaginal dryness during the perimenopause. It was explained to me that it was body’s normal response to a decreased level of the hormone estrogen and this is rarely a problem during perimenopause. You can discuss with your doctor the options available to deal with vaginal dryness, such as use of lubricants available in any drug store; you may also want to discuss hormone replacement therapy or vaginal estrogen cream to help alleviate this problem once you are in menopause. I know that some women experience a decrease in sexual desire during perimenopause or after menopause; I think that the woman who wanted lot of sex during perimenopause is really exceptional.
