Perimenopause Help

Question by Juggernaut239: Ladies, what are we going to do about the male sex drive?
What can we do?

Either we develop some sort of drug that reduces male sex drive without lowering energy

or Idk

Because I see a lot of questions on here where women ask:

why do men look at porn.

why do men always have to look at me when I wear this.

why are men attracted to women’s body

why does my bf/husband want sex all the time

etc etc

It seems to me that from these questions men and women think quite differently. And that men and women are not living in the same reality.

So yeah I’m sorry ladies if I looked at you but I promise If I do look I don’t mean to it just happens and then I snap out a split second later and realize what I’ve done.

So what is there to be done?

Question by jrshannie: Could my libido be low because always going to sleep and waking up late?
I have noticed over the past few months that my libido is almost completely gone, and im only 23!

My sleep pattern recently has been bad too. Could this be the reason?

I still get anywhere from 7-10 hours sleep, but I always go to bed at around 3am-5am and wake up at around 11am-2pm. I have been doing this for about 2 months now.

Could this be affecting testosterone production and so my libido is really low?

You didn’t indicate if anything in your life changed as you started to notice this. Did your activity level change? Did you lose a job? Think back.

Low libido and the sleeping pattern you describe are both signs of depression.

If you decide you need help for that, then go for it. But you should first try getting back onto a normal sleep schedule– go to bed earlier and wake up earlier. This could also improve your depression, if you have that.

If none of this works, move someplace where the women are better looking ^_^

Question by sunshine39: Could I be pregnant or going through perimenopause?
I am 39 years old, and I got my period last month and it lasted about 7 days – this month it came and it was only 1 day, but still have cramping like it is going to be coming – I have also been running a low grade temp for over a week anywhere from 99 – 99.5 degrees. I am not sure if this is a sign of pregnancy or could I be going through perimenopause. I would appreciate anyone that could help.

Thanks

I’m 47 years old and going through the perimenopause stage. I get my period then I miss them for 1, 2 or 3 months. This goes back and forth. Lately my stomach is feeling very bloated and puffy is this due to the perimenopause stage? What can I do to help my stomach feeling bloated and uncomfortable?

Question by CC Curious: How could you tell that you were going through perimenopause or premenopause?
At what age did it start for you?
Did your periods get heavier and or you missed or were late for them?

Answer by ivillage4women
Many women begin to experience changes in their menstrual periods beginning in the late 30s to early 40s. This is the start of perimenopause, the variable amount of time before menopause, the complete loss of ovarian hormone function. During perimenopause, ovulation may become sporadic as hormone levels fluctuate. Some women may begin to skip periods or have heavier flow. More PMS-type symptoms, especially mood swings, may occur.

Just live your life as normal but extra sleep or naps in the afternoon it takes away anxiety and anger. Think of the joy you will feel never having your monthly tormentor again
