Do women still have sex after menopause?

The average age of menopause for Chinese women is around 50 years old, and it is normal for women to have sex around 60-70 years old. However, after menopause, due to the decline of hormone level, women’s vagina becomes atrophied and less fluid is secreted during intercourse, so it may be difficult or painful to have intercourse. In this case, the patient can use topical estrogen ointment or oral estrogen, such as Nylstilbestrol, to improve the situation. However, before using estrogen, a comprehensive medical examination must be conducted to rule out contraindications to its use before long-term use.
