Labia or shameful lips are folds of skin containing fat-rich connective tissue. They are interconnected dermal ridges, called commissure. Slit-like space bounded laterally labia majora is called sexual slit. The labia majora are covered with hair, and in their lower sections are arranged Bartholin glands, which secrete a lubricant during sexual arousal.

• Labia

Located inside the labia majora and usually hidden by them. They represent two longitudinal folds of the skin resembling mucosa. The hair on the labia lips, no, but there are sebaceous glands. Labia are a large number of blood vessels and nerve endings, and is one of the erogenous zones of a woman.

The body of the clitoris is enclosed in a dense fibrous membranes and plays a role of sexual head.

The internal sex organs

• Ovaries

One of the first signs of menopause is a loss of libido. If a woman does not feel more desire to make love How to make love: sex - not just technique This can be explained by many factors, both psychological and physiological. But in any case, it is not a tragedy, because all fixable. According to statistics, about 80% of women aged between fifty and sixty remain sexually active.

Physiological changes

The skin and mucous membranes with the onset of menopause significantly weakened, become brittle, dry, since there is a lack of blood supply due to lower levels of certain hormones. This applies to the skin and mucous membranes throughout the body surface, including and in the genital area.

Vaginal mucosa becomes sensitive, more delicate and susceptible to infections, drier and less elastic. For this reason, the sexual act brings discomfort, pain, irritation. And sexual attraction, of course, is also part of this vicious circle. The more it becomes an unpleasant proximity to the physical plane, the more likely that over time decrease libido. About 20% of menopausal women experience pain during sexual intimacy, which then leads to a rejection of it.

Moisturize the vagina depends on two mechanisms. The first is associated with sexual arousal and the other depends on the amount of estrogen Estrogen - the key to bone health Which in mature women decreases gradually. In this case the help hormone replacement therapy and as an adjunct recommended to use lubricants.

Also important is the fact that changes in the breast. Periodically, with the onset of menopause, at the beginning of it, when there is a strong restructuring of the body, the breasts can be quite painful. It also affects the sexual life, as kindness are sometimes impossible.

Psychological problems

Everything is quite clear physiological changes in the plan, which occur during menopause, also affect the psychological state of the woman. It's really a very sharp time in life when gradually ending production of eggs associated with fertility, which in turn, is inextricably linked with the concepts of femininity and seductiveness. Some of the fair sex seems that quiet body betrayed them, and aging rapidly extinguished because they are not ready for this. They do not feel welcome, loved. It added irritability Irritability - you try to control my temper , Nervousness, constant stress How to beat stress? Create an oasis That is classic behavior during hormonal transformations.

All of this can be seen, and very often, but in the hands of women remain sexually attractive to their man, so at the first sign of discomfort in sexual life should not sound the alarm and take appropriate action.
