Hormone Imbalance

What is hormonal imbalance?

Have you noticed your sex drive decreasing recently? Unfortunately, as a woman ages, her body struggles to maintain hormonal balance. This includes a decrease in the very important hormone for females: estrogen.

Without a sufficient amount of estrogen, low sex drive is often a consequence of hormonal imbalance. Low estrogen can also lead to vaginal dryness which can make sex painful. The decrease of estrogen greatly affects a women’s sexual wellness.

How can hormonal imbalance affect one’s life?

The hormone fluctuations can affect more than a woman’s moods, but her relationships as well. Low libido can negatively impact intimacy with her partner and may lead to additional concerns, such as vaginal dryness. With vaginal dryness, a woman may experience pain during sexual intercourse and may begin to avoid sexual encounters. When hormones are not balanced, a woman often doesn’t feel like herself and can lead to her sexual wellness being neglected.
