Improving Sex Life at 40


As women reach the age of 40, the libido levels suddenly drops. This can be associated with the hormonal change due to menopause. Despite this fact, it is still important to maintain a fulfilling sex life to stay passionate with our lifetime partners. Here are some of the reasons and how science can help overcome the situation:

Low Testosterone Levels



When a woman reaches the menopausal stage, the testosterone level decreases. To augment this, doctors can prescribe testosterone gels. Women can also take nutritional supplements with ginseng,and ginkgo. Oral contraceptives can also help increase your libido.

Distractions During Sex

It might be because of a deadline at work, or problems with the kids, but there are a lot of distractions during sex. The hormone DHEA 9dehydroepiandrosterone) can help increase dopamine levels that creates the desire to go after a reward.

Trouble Reaching Orgasm
Poor circulation of blood to the genitals may be one of the causes of this problem. Amino acid L - arginine can help increase the production of nitric oxide during arousal.

Dryness
This is primarily because of the fluctuation of hormones why women produce less lubrication. Women can then apply estrogen locally such as insertable vaginal estrogen rings or tablets or vaginal estrogen creams.
