Where do I go for help
irishf posted:
Im 56 yrs old, female healthy in menopause. I am married and love my husband of 10 yrs. I have never had much of a sex drive, but now it's like it's completely gone. Although once I am involved in sex I do enjoy it, but I don't think about it or even feel like looking at a good looking man. My husband is a good lover and is always ready to have sex and I know he has to be tired of me and my lack of interest. Sometimes I think I could go without sex and never miss it. Maybe it's hormones, but I really don't want to take medication that has serious side effects. I really don't know what to do, or who to see for help. What kind of a doctor do I need to see and how do I find a good one?

Very likely it's hormones..or, rather, the lack of them since you are in menopause. Often even small amounts of replacement hormones will increase libido.
