Intercourse is sex, and you can have sex after menopause.
Menopause refers to the permanent cessation of menstruation due to the failure of ovarian function, and can only be judged as menopause after 12 consecutive months of menopause. Symptoms such as agitation and irritability, anxiety, vaginal atrophy, decreased libido, and osteoporosis may occur, but most do not interfere with sexual intercourse.
However, after menopause, the vagina loses the support of estrogen, and there may be a decrease in the local resistance of the vagina, vaginal dryness, and discomfort during sexual intercourse. It is necessary to have sex more frequently and to have hygiene during intercourse, and to use vaginal lubricants to reduce the discomfort of intercourse if necessary, and to reduce the risk of developing vaginitis.
In addition, women should pay attention to whether there is abnormal bleeding when having sex after menopause, if there is abnormal bleeding, it is recommended to go to a professional hospital to clarify the cause of the disease, under the guidance of the doctor to carry out the next examination and treatment, and should also pay attention to the physical examination.
