Patient's question:
I am 54 years old and have been menopausal for 2 years. Recently, I have found it difficult to maintain sexual activity. Please advise what medication can help alleviate this. Thank you!First follow-up question: During my recent physical examination, the ultrasound revealed that my uterus has atrophied. I don’t have any of the symptoms you mentioned—is uterine atrophy the cause? Are there no other treatment options? I worry that this may affect our marital relationship. Please advise. Sincerely, thank you!
Second follow-up question: What foods are rich in B vitamins? Thank you!
Doctor's answer:
Postmenopausal uterine atrophy does not affect sexual life. After menopause, the level of sexual hormones in the body decreases, which may affect sexual life. This can affect the secretion level of estrogen, making it easier to experience insufficient secretion during sexual activity, thereby impacting normal sexual life. It is recommended to consume more soy products and soy milk. Additionally, if necessary, use lubricants.
