Does the clitoris shrink even after menopause?

Women with postmenopause accompanied by declining estrogen levels may experience clitoral atrophy. Menopause is a state of permanent absence of menstruation caused by the failure of ovarian function. The main causes of menopause include decreased levels of sex hormones, bilateral oophorectomy, primary ovarian insufficiency, and radiotherapy. Postmenopausal women may experience hot flashes, agitation and irritability, depression, atrophy of reproductive organs, osteoporosis and other symptoms. Therefore, women may experience clitoral atrophy after menopause, which is a normal physiological phenomenon. If it is not accompanied by obvious discomfort, patients may not intervene in the treatment and pay attention to observation. Under the guidance of the doctor, estrogenic drugs such as estradiol valerate tablets and estradiol benzoate can also be taken to improve postmenopausal symptoms. It is recommended that women strictly follow the doctor’s instructions to use medication, do not change the dose of drugs or abuse drugs, pay attention to personal hygiene in life, maintain local cleanliness and hygiene, wash the local prevention of inflammation and infection, eat a balanced diet, quit smoking and limit the use of alcohol and so on.
