Life Doesn't Pause #3: What Women Need To Know About Sex and Relationships in Perimenopause

Women conform to different societal norms as they go through various phases of life, and the perimenopause years are no different. With menopause on the horizon, women in their 40s are forced to set aside their sexual desires and needs, and are not able to talk about sexual dysfunction in their relationships. In this candid conversation with consultant obstetrician and gynaecologist Dr Hoo Mei Lin, we discuss how sex and relationships are affected by perimenopause, and how to create a safe space for women to acknowledge their sexual health issues with their partners and healthcare professionals.
