Menopause & Libido: Understanding Desire, Intimacy, and Pleasure in Midlife
In this juicy episode, Dr. Taniqua Miller pulls back the curtain on the International Society for the Study of Women's Sexual Health (ISSWSH) conference and shares the game-changing insights she learned about menopause and sexual health. From libido struggles to painful sex, Dr. Miller breaks down why these changes happen, how they impact relationships, and—most importantly—what you can do about it. She also shares why most doctors aren’t asking you about your sex life and how you can advocate for yourself in the exam room.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
🔹 Why libido shifts feel like a “light switch” in menopause (and why it’s not all in your head!)
🔹 The four key domains of sexual health and how menopause affects each one
🔹 How common medications like antidepressants impact your sex drive
🔹 Why caregiving, stress, and relationship changes affect sexual desire in midlife
🔹 The difference between desire, arousal, and orgasm—and why understanding them matters
🔹 FDA-approved and off-label treatment options for sexual health concerns
🔹 How to talk to your doctor about sexual health (and why your annual exam isn’t the time to do it!)
