The climacteric genital symptoms improve with estrogen replacement therapy, and positively influence sexual function. Further studies are needed to establish the actual impact of the decrease in estrogen levels and of aging on the sex life of climacteric women.

 

Abstract

Background:

Cultural, social, physiological and psychological factors may alter the course of sexual function in climacteric women.

Objective:

The objective of the present literature review is to survey the prevalence of sexual dysfunctions in the climacteric and to establish the association between the organic and psychic changes that occur during this phase and sexual dysfunction. We also discuss potential treatments.
