3. Lowered Sex Drive
Have you been experiencing some kind of change in your sex drive, usually a lowered form of sex drive when you normally used to be virile and up for it? Lowered sex drive is also sometimes experienced as a symptom of menopause, though we should note that it can indicate many other things that you should get taken care of. This happens to the body because of hormone changes.
Your hormone levels are changing as you grow older. This simply means your body will react differently to things than when you were younger, and it will be different than what you are used to now. Yes, this is normal, and lowered sex drive can be a very common sign of menopause seen in most if not all cases. Changes like this should be reported to your doctor, who will test your hormone levels – usually through a simple blood test.
