Hot Flashes Are Not Something to "Tough Out”!

Almost 80% of women experience hot flashes and contrary to popular belief, those flashes typically last 7 to 10 years. The impact on work, sleep, sexuality, and quality of life is irrefutable. Even if you are willing to spend years dressing in layers and being exhausted, what is now appreciated is that the impact of hot flashes goes far beyond the misery of feeling like you are in a sauna. There is scientific evidence that hot flashes increase the risk of developing heart disease and other serious medical conditions.

What if suddenly your tried-and-true maneuvers that consistently ended in orgasm no longer worked? Or it took so long and the climax so pathetic it was hardly worth the effort? Along with hot flashes, sandpaper sex, and a loss of libido, add the inability to have an orgasm to the list of post-menopause surprises your mom "forgot" to warn you about.

If you are in that camp, you are far from alone. A lack of desire for sex is the number one sexual complaint of post-menopause women. Difficulty with orgasm is the second most common sexual issue and is experienced by over 50% of mid-life women.

Existing books about orgasm generally only address the psychosocial relationship aspects. You don’t need to be told to have a glass of wine and plan a date night if your inability to orgasm is due to a biologic problem. Decreased blood flow because of aging, low estrogen, and damage to blood vessels from other medical problems such as diabetes, cancer treatments, multiple sclerosis or vascular disease all sabotage the ability of nerve endings to respond. And then there is the impact of medications. No existing books address the biological reasons for loss of libido and post-menopause difficulty with orgasm. If you are one of the millions of post-menopause women who lost their libido and want to find it or are wondering if you will ever orgasm again, Come Again: A Guide to Midlife Libido and Orgasm is the definitive guide that provides hormonal and non-hormonal solutions that will get your libido to kick in and your clitoral nerve endings to wake up!

Come Again: A Guide to Midlife Libido and Orgasm is part three of Dr. Streicher's Inside Information Series, a collection of informative and highly entertaining books targeting specific issues that mid-life women face as they navigate perimenopause and post-menopause.
