by Marie Anderson, M.D.I am 60 years old and have had a lack of interest in sexual relations for the past 5 years. My husband, who is the same age, doesn't share my lack of interest. I have never taken any hormonal medicines because I feel they are unsafe and I cringe every time I see male medications advertised because it goes against what I believe about sexuality.
I've just begun experiencing hot flashes. I know they're a normal part of menopause, but they can be so irritating. Sometimes I feel like I am burning up! Is there anything I can do to minimize their intensity? Will they ever go away? Recently a bone density screening indicated bone density loss. I am moderately active and on no medication. I'd like to keep it that way. How do I build denser, stronger bones at age 68 without drugs?
At what age should my daughter start seeing a gynecologist? She is 15 and not sexually active.
