Sexual activity amongst menopausal women differs greatly between individuals according to new research from the University of Sheffield
It suggests that rather than hormonal changes during the menopause, external factors such as a partner's reduced libido, depth of relationship and caring for a relative had more of an impact on sexual satisfaction during the menopause.
Dr Sharron Hinchcliff says "biological research tends to report the negative impact of declining hormone levels on womens' ability to engage in and enjoy sexual activities, whereas our study found that some women actually saw an increase in sexual desire during this time”
The study concludes that the menopause is not the only factor that affects a woman's sexuality after a certain age and that lifestyle changes in mid-life also affect it.
