menopause and sex

[lynneylou]

hi i am 36 and am having a blood test for hormone levels tomorrow to see if i am menopausal due to me symptoms including very regular bleeding etc. can anyone tell me if when going through the start of the change or during it, it effects not only your sex drive but the whole sex thing. The last four or five times me and hubby made love have experienced an awful pain just as i begin to have an orgasm which has made me become scared of having now and last night i braved it again and ended up sobbing!!!????

It could be a hernia or a bruised ovary. If it's the latter you should abstain from sex for about two weeks.
Poor you, no wonder it's putting you off.
If I were you I'd make an appointment to see the Dr and put your mind to rest, before it puts you off for good. Get it sorted and things will be back to normal asap. Good Luck.

chicklin, thank you for advice, apart from y'day, because of the pain, we havent had sex for over a month. like i said originally, no pain during sex just when i orgasm. i wish we could get an mot on ourselves sometimes!!!

Where's the pain lynney? I've got an umbilical hernia but it's never been painful during sex or orgasm. As chiklin says,have a word with your gp. Daisy.

thanks daisy, the pain is just to the left of my belly button but starts from very low down and stops as soon as ive finished orgasm which obviously i dont want to have again at the moment!!!

blood tests have come back normal and been fine for 2 wks now, maybe it is just the pcos, but how to treat naturally????
