ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Seven women. One doctor. Not one of them had ever proactively asked how her sex life was — and that silence is exactly what's driving today's conversation about low libido, hormones, and menopause.
In this roundtable, Dr. Debra Durst sits down with a panel of women to talk candidly about what actually happens to desire, arousal, and intimacy during perimenopause and menopause — the conversations most doctors' offices never make room for. The panel gets into vaginal dryness, painful sex, the guilt that comes with a vanishing sex drive, and why so many women suffer through it in silence simply because no one ever asked.
A few key takeaways from this conversation:
- Roughly 80% of women don't experience spontaneous desire — arousal has to come first, and that's normal physiology, not a problem to fix
- Vaginal dryness and painful sex are common but not something you have to live with, even on hormone therapy
- Low libido is one of the most common — and most under-discussed — symptoms of hormonal changes, and it can improve significantly with proper optimization
- Opening the conversation with your partner (and your doctor) changes everything, including the relationship itself
- If you've ever felt alone in this, you're not. Subscribe for more from this roundtable series, and check out the full conversation on The SexMD Podcast.
