Menopause can change your body in many ways, and some of those changes can affect your sex life too. It is common for natural hormone shifts around midlife to reduce oestrogen and testosterone levels. This can make vaginal tissue thinner, less elastic and drier, which may cause discomfort during sex and make arousal and orgasm more difficult.

As we get older, it’s easy to treat memory slips or that foggy midday brain fog as “just part of getting on.” But voices like Women’s Brain Health Initiative remind us: female brains deserve the same care as bodies. 

When oestrogen levels fall during menopause, your skin doesn’t just age quietly – it stages a full rebel rally. Experts agree that this hormone isn’t just for hot flushes and mood swings. It also helps your skin stay plump and elastic by boosting collagen and elastin. With less of it around, the skin begins to thin, get drier and sag. 

Big news in the menopause world: there’s a new pill called 'Lynkuet' that treats hot flashes... and the experts agree it could be a worthwhile option for many. Unlike traditional hormone therapy, this one is hormone-free. It works by blocking certain nerve signals in the brain that trigger the heat and night sweats common in menopause.
