In a world that tells women to put everyone else first, pleasure can start to feel optional — even indulgent. Especially in midlife, when bodies, energy, and desire are changing.

But as s*x educator Emily Nagoski reminds us:
“Pleasure is not a luxury. It’s a form of self-knowledge.”

Understanding pleasure is part of understanding your body — and that matters during menopause and beyond. Paying attention to what feels good, supportive, or comfortable is information. And that information helps you make choices that support your wellbeing. 💛

Here at My Menopause Centre, we're here to support you on every step of your mid-life journey... from expert advice to symptom checkers and live Q&As, our FREE website has everything you need to embrace menopause with confidence, while the specialist menopause doctors in our private clinic are here to provide you with outstanding one-to-one support and care.

This week’s Dr Drop‑In featured Dr Annaa Greaves answering an interesting question:

“What can be done for heat regulation during exercise? Are there any additional supplements that can aid HRT with this issue?”

Dr Anna advises that managing hot flushes with exercise has no single cure, but several practical steps can help. Stay well hydrated before and during activity, break workouts into shorter segments with regular cooling breaks, and use a cold flannel or similar to cool down.

Lifestyle factors matter: stopping smoking, managing weight, eating well and getting good sleep can reduce flushes. HRT can lessen hot flushes for many, but if HRT isn’t suitable there are non‑hormonal prescription options, and some people try herbal remedies such as black cohosh or sage.

If symptoms stop you exercising or harm your quality of life, speak to your GP or a menopause specialist to explore other treatments.

‘Great s*x in midlife isn’t about going back — it’s about moving forward differently,’ says s*x and relationship expert ...
04/02/2026

‘Great s*x in midlife isn’t about going back — it’s about moving forward differently,’ says s*x and relationship expert Trudy Hannington. Here are her top tips for doing just that:

💕 Redefine what “s*x” means
Intimacy doesn’t have to look the way it did before menopause. Broadening your definition of s*x — to include touch, closeness, pleasure, and connection — can remove pressure and reignite desire.

💕 Don’t wait to feel spontaneous
Desire often follows arousal, not the other way around. Creating space for intimacy — rather than waiting for it to happen — can be a powerful shift.

💕 Talk about what’s changed
Honest conversations about comfort, desire, and boundaries can feel awkward at first, but they often lead to deeper connection and better s*x.

03/02/2026

‘Loss of s*x drive is a common menopause symptom — but s*x drive (or libido) is complex and can be about more than hormonal change,’ explains Dr Clare.

Nearly 4 in 10 women report a drop in desire during menopause, yet fewer than a third seek help, even when it causes distress and unhappiness. The good news? Support is available.

🌸 Address physical discomfort
Vaginal dryness, soreness, or pain can quietly reduce desire. Treatments like vaginal oestrogen and moisturisers can dramatically improve comfort — and with it, confidence and libido.
🌸 Consider the whole picture
Sleep, stress, mood, mental load, relationships, and life stage all play a role. Supporting libido often means addressing several factors together.
🌸 Know that help is available
Changes in libido are common — but they’re not something you have to “put up with.” Evidence-based options can help at every stage, including optimising HRT and considering testosterone.

Because understanding what’s really going on is the first step towards feeling more like you again 💕

At 60, intimacy had started to feel awkward for Sheila*. Desire had faded. S*x felt like something that belonged to the past. She assumed this was just part of getting older… until she met someone new.

With greater self-awareness, honest communication, and the freedom to let go of old expectations, this decade has brought her some of the best s*x of her life. More connected. More enjoyable. Completely on her own terms.

“S*x after menopause is so different,” Sheila shares. “My new-found confidence has seeped into other parts of my life. I feel energetic, empowered, strong again. I feel like a woman.”

As Valentine’s Day approaches, her story is a reminder we all deserve to hear: desire doesn’t have an expiry date. Intimacy, confidence, and pleasure can deepen with time. 💗

✨As Joan Collins so brilliantly puts it: ✨

“Age is just a number. Life is about attitude, and the sooner you realise that, the better.”

Midlife can be a powerful moment to reset, refocus, and choose an attitude that truly works for you. With experience on your side and confidence growing, this chapter isn’t about slowing down — it’s about leaning into what matters most. After all, when you shift your mindset, everything else has room to follow.

During our recent Facebook Dr Drop In, Dr Anna Greaves responded to this tongue-in-cheek - but very common - question:

“Is there a quick and punchy resource my sister can show to her husband, who doesn't seem to believe the symptoms are not just imagined. I suppose it's better than actually just punching him.”

If you’re ever in this situation (which is more common than you think!) Dr Anna advises you to look for a short, engaging resource that the person will actually read or listen to ... people respond differently to TV, podcasts, books or brief leaflets.

In this case, she recommends something aimed at partners (e.g., The Man’s Guide to Menopause book or podcast) and pick the format he’s most likely to engage with. Have your sister say simply, “Please read/listen to this, it would mean a lot,” and encourage her to follow up with a calm conversation about her experience. Good luck!

You don’t have to figure this out alone; we have lots of support and solutions available for you. Join our Facebook community to ask your questions, share your experiences, and get guidance that makes a difference.

Perimenopause can feel like a long, unpredictable journey filled with fluctuating symptoms. But how do you know when you’re nearing the end? Understanding the signs that perimenopause is ending can help you prepare for the transition into menopause and what comes next.

While every woman’s experience of the menopause is unique, in this article, My Menopause Centre's co-founder Dr Clare Spencer discusses the most common signs that perimenopause is coming to an end. Just head here:
https://www.mymenopausecentre.com/menopause-stages/perimenopause-to-menopause/signs-perimenopause-is-ending/

The end of perimenopause marks the beginning of a new phase of life. While some symptoms ease, others may require ongoing management. The key is to listen to your body, seek help if needed, and take proactive steps to support your health.

If you’re struggling, don’t suffer in silence!

Speak to your GP (or speak to one of the specialists at My Menopause Centre) if:
👉Your symptoms are impacting your quality of life
👉You want advice on HRT (hormone replacement therapy) or symptom management

If you...
👉Experience very heavy or prolonged bleeding
👉Have bleeding after menopause (this should always be checked).. please see your GP.
