Dear Queenie,
Since my wife started menopause we haven’t had much of a sex life. I don’t want to cause her any trouble, and I won’t go out and have an affair, but I miss what we used to have.
Queenie, why does this happen and what can I do about it?—Frustrated husband
Dear Husband,
When women start menopause their hormone levels go down, their sex drive drops and sometimes having sex actually becomes painful. Have you talked to your wife about this? If she talks to her family doctor and/or a gynaecologist about it she may be able to get some help.
