Research: Couples who have sex once a week are happier (Walla! News system)

During the period known as menopause, various changes occur in our body, which cause quite a few side effects.

One of the side effects that most impairs the quality of life is a decrease in sexual desire - a phenomenon that affects the couple space as well as the personal space.

Why does this happen and how do you deal with it?

Here are all the answers.



Decreased libido in women

Dr. Benny Feiner, a specialist in gynecology



Decreased libido is the most common complaint in women. There is a division into three stages: libido disorder, sexual arousal stage, which is a physiological stage, and orgasm stage.Some women will experience difficulty in the three stages, or only in part.The disturbances are due to emotional and physiological conditions and tend to mix in these cases.

50% of menopausal women will experience a decrease in libido.

Vaginal dryness


One of the common symptoms that lead to decreased libido (to avoid) is vaginal dryness.

At the physiological level it is a decrease in the level of the hormone estrogen in the blood with the cessation of menstruation, which leads to changes in the tissues in a woman's body.

Vaginal dryness causes pain during intercourse, a disturbance in the ability to experience orgasm, and may indirectly cause a disturbance in the stages of arousal and desire, and cause intercourse to be unpleasant and even painful, leading often to avoid sexual intercourse.



How is it treated?

This condition can be resolved by using lubricants, or through advanced and non-surgical treatments offered today, such as vaginal laser treatment that regenerates the tissues inside the vagina.

Tissue regeneration produces natural moisture and elasticity that was lacking, with the treatment designed to provide a hormone-free response.

2. Urinary incontinence


A phenomenon that women rarely talk about is urinary incontinence during intercourse.

The term "irritable bladder" refers to the muscle that surrounds the bladder, and in some women it is characterized by involuntary overactivity, and therefore causes urgency or frequency in urination and sometimes even actual urinary leakage.

Another mechanism that can cause urinary leakage during intercourse is called 'stress urinary leakage' and is due to the weakening of the bladder closure and the tissue that supports the urethra.

Women who suffer from these symptoms, even if they have not actually experienced urinary incontinence during intercourse, live in constant anxiety from great embarrassment lest a leak occur during intercourse or during orgasm.

This anxiety is enough to impair each of the stages of intercourse.



How is it treated?


In women who experience urinary incontinence during intercourse, the state of control can be improved using a vaginal laser that regenerates the tissues that support the bladder neck and urethra.

In some cases a 'minimally invasive' surgery performed through the vagina without an external incision is required, and treats very high success rates in the urinary leakage mechanism with effort.

Pelvic floor physiotherapy treatments can also dramatically improve the issue of urine control.



3. Vaginal loosening


Another phenomenon that can impair during intercourse is weakness of the vagina, when the woman does not feel the friction during intercourse and there is no resistance in muscle tone.



How is it treated?


Vaginal laxity and reduction in sensation can be solved by a combination of therapeutic measures such as physiotherapy treatments to improve the internal muscles in order to narrow and tighten the vagina and vaginal laser treatment to regenerate the tissue so that it becomes tighter and narrower.

In some cases the condition can be improved by surgery that changes the structure of the vagina considerably.

Erectile Dysfunction - The most common problem is



an erection is a physiological process that involves the nervous system, vascular system and endocrine system, leading to genital hardening.

Erectile dysfunction (impotence, impotence) is defined as the inability to achieve or maintain an erection to complete satisfying intercourse.

This disorder has a negative impact on the quality of life and especially on the interpersonal relationships between the couple.

The incidence of erectile dysfunction increases with age and especially in the face of concomitant chronic diseases that are risk factors.



Major risk factors for erectile dysfunction are age, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, heart disease, obesity and lack of exercise, smoking and common drug treatments (such as antihypertensive drugs).

In addition, sexual dysfunction has been linked to other common urological problems (such as benign prostatic hyperplasia) and abdominal or pelvic surgeries.

There is also a link between low levels of testosterone (a condition called hypogonadism) and erectile dysfunction and decreased libido.

Erectile dysfunction can also result from a psychological source, or from a combination of "physical" disorder and psychological disorder.



How is it treated?

The first recommendation for all patients is to adhere to a healthy lifestyle (quitting smoking, exercising regularly, weight loss and the like).

Patients whose main component is mental will be referred at this stage for sexological counseling.



The primary line of treatment is drug therapy (such as either Viagra or Cialis).

If the drug treatment has not led to improvement or significant side effects have appeared, treatment with self-injections into the penis containing a substance leading to an erection can be advanced within a few minutes.

These injections dilate the blood vessels of the penis, causing increased blood flow to it.

Within 15-10 minutes of the injection an erection will be achieved, and it will last between 20 minutes and an hour.



In addition, there is an option of using a vacuum device, which creates an external vacuum that causes the blood to be pumped into the penis.

To maintain an erection, you can also attach a pressure rubber band to the base of the penis.

When all this does not help, there is a possibility of a surgical solution - implantation (implant) in the penis.

It is an irreversible surgery that does not impair libido, ejaculation or orgasm.
